Inhaltsangabe:

Discover the many ways animals sleep in this fascinating and beautiful showcase of animals at rest. 
How do animals sleep? Curious young minds will be fascinated to discover the amazing variety of ways the animals featured in this picture book sleep. Some sleep nearly all the time while others hardly at all; some sleep underwater while others standing on one leg; some sleep in snow while others in the baking hot desert. . . How Animals Sleep invites inquiry and comparison between the animals and their sleep behaviors plus reflection on how we as humans get rest.
Gorgeous, bold block print style illustrations by Marie Štumpfová accompany the informative text from naturalist/author Jiří Dvořák. The large trim size provides an immersive reading experience. Young students of animal behavior may extend the conversation into topics of where the animals live, what they eat, and other related activities. Or they may just be tempted to demonstrate their own abilities to sleep after the final pages come to a close.
Animals featured: Pelicans, Parrotfish, Bumblebees, Sea Otters, Seals, Polar Bears, Flamingoes, Hazel Dormice, Giraffes, Cats, Green Tree Pythons, Foxes, Peacocks, Camels, Dogs, Common Swifts. 

 

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Jiří Dvořák spent his childhood in Prague and wanted to become a botanist or the author of adventure novels. After graduating with a degree in plant biotechnology, he realized he did not want to be a scientist. He first worked as a proofreader and now is the editor-in-chief of the magazine Our Beautiful Garden. He is the author of more than ten books that combine his passions for biology and adventure. He has been awarded the Golden Ribbon, lives in Prague, likes to take pictures, sleep and be silent.

Marie Štumpfová graduated with a degree in graphics and illustration. Today, she mainly devotes herself to illustration, editorial work, and creating books. Her work as an art director can be seen in the magazine Page, and she has also designed wooden toys for children. She created the book How Animals Sleep as her diploma thesis, which has received praise from critics and readers. Today, it can be read by children in Japan, Poland, Holland, Korea, Hungary, and now the English-speaking world. https://www.mariestumpfova.com/
