How Animals Sleep
by Jiri Dvorak
Age Range: Under_5
How do animals sleep? Fascinating facts are presented in a fun way by Czech author Jiří Dvořák, translated by Benjamin Lovett. Some animals sleep nearly all the time – cats can sleep as much as sixteen hours a day. “By the time a cat has reached the ripe old age of nine, they have spent a mere three years of their life with open eyes”! Other animals sleep hardly at all such as giraffes whose two-hour sleep each night is broken up into small five-minute naps. Then there are camels who sleep on their knees or flamingos on one foot and there are creatures who sleep underwater or in the snow.
Author and naturalist Dvořák has created an informative and engaging non-fiction picture book about animals and how they sleep. The expressive print-style illustrations across each double-page spread by Marie Ŝtumpfová are delightful and sure to captivate young readers.
