Where Do Creatures Sleep at Night?

Written in rhyming couplets, this book does a phenomenal job of answering the question where do creatures sleep at night? I had never really considered this before, but the answers in this book made a lot of sense.

An entertaining and informative picture book for children which, by nature of its topic, would work perfectly as a bedtime story. This book explores different animals, what they do during the day, and then how they sleep at night. From bees to horses to rabbits to frogs, each animal has its own sleeping style. The illustrations in this book are lovely, the bright images of the daytime contrasting nicely with the soft blues of the nighttime. For any child who is interested in animals, or any adult who wants to sneak in a few new facts during bedtime, this would be the book for them.

I loved this book! Beautifully illustrated and written so children can understand, this book teaches kids where different animals sleep. The book shows it’s important for children to sleep as well.

It was interesting to compare this with a similar book called Night Creatures (https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3993616181) which crossed my path the same week as this. That one looks to give a primer for animals that are crepuscular and nocturnal, ie critters we might not have seen too much of, on account of us being suited to the day and them coming out when it's bedtime. This is a cousin to that, but not a closer sibling, for it looks at what happens to the creatures we DO know well – the daytime ducks, the horses, and the dogs and cats we have in our homes. And what it does do better is give a balanced feel where you can get the science and the narrative (and the wonderful artwork) all in one fell swoop. It is made even more readable for the very young by being in verse, which very seldom misses a beat or stress, and only occasionally lapses from perfection in its rhyme. This, then, is really good – a gentle early look at nature, and the answer if you need it when asked "where will that butterfly go to bed tonight, mummy?". A book that did the same as both volumes in between the same covers would be wonderful, but being left with this one is no bad thing at all.

Cozy illustrations and rhymes about where and how creatures sleep makes this a perfect bedtime book.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Charlesbridge for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is a childrens book. I found this to be a fun book, full of interesting facts, plus it rhymes! I think most kids would get a kick out of this book. Great graphics and overall just a pleasure to read. 4 stars

This was an adorable book! I loved the rhyming, and the illustrations. It’s a teachable book, and that’s great!

Where do all the animals that we see so busy during the day go when it is time for bed? I found this book to be absolutely adorable and the illustrations were precious. A pleasure for children of all ages.

Where Do Creatures Sleep at Night? is the perfect bedtime story for both children and adults to enjoy. Not only does it have beautiful and colorful artwork that catches the reader’s eye, but it teaches informative facts about all the different animals. By the end of the story, you will want to cuddle up in your bed and get some rest. I also love how the author mentions the importance of sleep for everyone. Without adequate sleep we wouldn’t be able to enjoy such beautiful books such as this one. Thank you to Charlesbridge and NetGalley for giving me an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

With lovely illustrations and melodious dialogue this would be a great bed time book for your little ones. It will definitely generate curious discussions as the story unfolds and answer many questions for children and adults too.

Where Do Creatures Sleep at Night is an excellent book for young children. Children need to learn about nature, and this is a perfect book for bedtime or any time of day. It would be great for a gift book or for the bookshelf of a young animal lover.
Thank you to Net Galley for the Advanced Reader's copy of this book.

A simple book to remind kids about the importance of rest and sleep through animals. That even though those animals they saw daily are busy, but they also take a rest in the evening. But because the book is also about how animals rest at night, it is also interesting to learn about the habit that we rarely saw.
