Sleep Like a Tiger
by Mary Logue
illustrated by Pamela Zagarenski
Does everything go to sleep? When a little girl does not want to go to sleep, she asks her parents in everything in the world goes to sleep. What follows is a description of how many animals sleep, from the nocturnal bats hanging upside down, to the tiger in the jungle sleeping to stay strong. Eventually the little girl settles herself into her bed in ways very similar to the animals her parents described.
This lovely bedtime story is accompanied by beautiful, bold illustrations that recently earned this book a Caldecott Honor. As I read the parts where the parents described how different animals slept, I imagined the possibilities for pairing this picture book with nonfiction text about animal sleep habits.
