SuitabookChengdu ¡no hay manera de dormir!
Barney Saltzberg
- Reading
- Read it when there is time to linger over Chengdu’s actions rather than expecting a complete preview here. Invite the child to predict what may happen next, then revisit those predictions after finishing.
- Themes
- Being awake when others sleep: Chengdu is awake high in a tree while those around him sleep peacefully; he stretches, turns, curls up and remains unsettled. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The central situation involves difficulty sleeping and physical restlessness. If a child finds bedtime or sleeplessness personally significant, pause to notice how Chengdu’s experience is presented and what feelings it evokes.
