Poetry is a great vehicle for exploring so much with children, & this book is an excellent example. In this case, 17 rhyming poems about the sleep habits of 17 different animals. In fact, were it not for this book I wouldn‘t have known that sea otters sometimes hold hands while sleeping so as not to float away from each other! I recommend this for readers of all ages. Includes brief prose descriptions, glossary, & index, plus cool illustrations!
