A Book of Sleep By Il Sung Na

Honestly I saw this book on the new books shelf and grabbed it because of the title. A Book of Sleep, and that's exactly what I wanted to do-go take a nap. It's very simple, and would be cute to read on a Monday morning to your class when everyone is tiered, or right before nap time to get the kids to wind down. The pictures are interesting. They use solid colors and then have designs in the animals skins like squiggles, flowers, and dashes ever so faintly. It's a cool idea. The pages are on a different type of paper than I am used to. It's a thicker paper and some pages almost feel rough, but it looks normal.

This book is about an owl who sleeps at the opposite time as all of the rest of the animals. This book shows how all animals sleep differently. Some animals sleep standing, some make noise, some are peaceful. The owl who does not sleep during the night like the others then sleeps during the day when the others are awake.
