Hosford delivers a beautiful book; both the poetry and the science behind each of the animal's sleep habits were great. The illustrations were gorgeous and complimented the text well. I will be buying this for my nieces and nephews this Christmas. It makes a great bedtime read.

Cute children's poetry book; would be great to create a program about this for children's services. This book explores how various animals sleep and dream.

Otarie che dormono tenendosi per mano, in modo che le correnti non possano separarle;

I brevissimi sonnellini delle giraffe, che vegliano contro i predatori e sui loro piccoli, gli unici che ronfano acciambellati a pretzel;

Le leonesse, che scappano a dormire su un albero per staccare da maschi e cuccioli;

I bradipi, che passano le lunghissime ore del loro sonno a testa in giù, grazie ai favolosi unghioni.

E molti, molti altri animali, che dimostrano il puro genio della Natura nel fornire le soluzioni più svariate e adatte: perché il sonno è necessario, ma non per tutti allo stesso modo.

Bellissime le illustrazioni, gradevoli le poesie, affascinanti i brevi approfondimenti scientifici: un altro libro da accalappiare. <3

Gorgeous illustrations. I think the idea of presenting facts along with poems is very clever. The book didn't load correctly on my kindle, so I don't feel like I got the 'whole experience' I would if I were able to read it in order. I would have really enjoyed having this as a child. The illustrations and presentation of information is memorable.

This was a shorter book than I anticipated but the illustrations and poems were adorable. Poetry book I would read to my kids.

I like the idea of this children's book – facts about weird and different ways that animals sleep. I love the illustrations, too. A book that children but also their parents can enjoy.

But unfortunately, I don't like the majority of poems. In my opinion, this book would be great without them.
