How Animals Sleep

How do animals sleep? Curious young minds will be fascinated to discover the amazing variety of ways animals rest. Some sleep nearly all the time while others hardly at all — some sleep underwater, others standing on one leg, some in snow while others in the baking hot desert.

How Animals Sleep invites inquiry and comparison between animals and their sleep behaviors, plus reflection on how we as humans get rest. Written by naturalist Jiří Dvořák with gorgeous, bold block print–style illustrations by Marie Štumpfová, the large trim size makes for an immersive reading experience. A perfect springboard for conversations about habitats, diet, and animal behavior.
