Synopsis

Discover how different animals go to sleep in this rhyming picture book from a veteran children's author!

Follow along as three children learn about the bedtime routines of squirrels, parrots, dolphins, and many more. Meerkats sleep in a stack. Is that how these kids go to sleep? Or do they hibernate in snow all winter long like frogs? Or maybe they sleep the day away like skunks? No, that can't be right!

By the book's conclusion, the kids have imitated all kinds of animals who are portrayed sleeping in their natural habitats, thanks to Sydney Hanson's charming illustrations. Readers will recognize the way the human child eventually goes to sleep--with stuffed animals, a bedtime story, and a kiss good night!


A Bank Street Best Book of the Year 

"Punctuated with zaniness, McMullan's litany nevertheless offers a quiet, calming rhythm to help little ones nod off."--Kirkus

"A bedtime book that will soothe and please children and caregivers."--SLJ

"A nice pairing with Diane Muldrow's How Do Giraffes Take Naps?, Vin Vogel's Bedtime for Yeti, or Cari Best’s I’m Brave! I’m Strong! I’m Five!, particularly for little ones looking for comfort around sleeping in their own beds."--Booklist
