Thomas M. Heffron
- Reading
- Read it together at bedtime or explore the habitat scenes at another time. Pause to identify animals and settings; use the additional teaching material if you want to explore the biomes further.
- Themes
- Sleep and habitats: The book explores animals sleeping in settings ranging from freshwater and marine habitats to deserts, forests, grasslands and tundra. Poetic text and illustrated landscapes introduce the environments where animals sleep.
- Bedtime framing: Alongside animal sleep, the book encourages children to get a good night's sleep and includes a note to parents about children and sleep. The bedtime framing connects animal sleep with the idea of children getting a good night's sleep.
- Worth knowing
- The book connects animal sleep with children's sleep, including a parent note and an encouragement towards a good night's sleep. Consider whether that bedtime framing suits your family's approach.
