Time for Bed, Animals: Bedtime non-fiction full of sleepy animals and facts (Paperback) - Maribel Lechuga

A gentle non-fiction book full of sleepy animals

Did you know that ants take naps, or that cats dream in their sleep? Can you imagine falling asleep standing up? Well, that's just what giraffes do!

Discover the sweet, snuggly, and sometimes surprising sleep habits of animals in this gentle introduction to non-fiction. Perfect for readers from 3+, this beautifully illustrated book shows all kinds of animals from around the world. Amazing facts are accompanied by simple questions, encouraging children to think about their own bedtime and how similar - or different - it is to the way animals go to sleep.

With gently informative text from award-winning author and travel-writer Ben Lerwill, and adorable wildlife illustration by Maribel Lechuga, this is the perfect first non-fiction for young readers, and an ideal book to share together as you wind down for bedtime.
