Summary:
Have you ever wondered how animals sleep? Well here is where you can find out. This book explains the resting habits of all kinds of animals, from cats and dogs to tigers and bears. At the end of this tale, readers get some facts about the animals in the story. Information such as where they are native to and how often they rest can be found in the final pages of this book.
Teacher Evaluation:
I would use this book for students in kindergarten and first grade. This is a high-interest, low-readability book, which will make it popular with young students. I would use this book to teach students about the importance of sleep to animals and humans. We would draw and color classroom posters that share the information we found in this book. Students would create a sentence using the sentence stem "Sleep is important for animals and humans because..." These would also be posted for visitors to see what students are working on.
