Sleep Reviews

Gorgeous illustrations attractively answer any curious child's question: where and how do different animals sleep?... Brief notes at the end provide exactly the right amount of information to add detail to the pictures. -- Julia Eccleshare * LoveReading4Kids *
I fell in love with the illustrations. What a lovely way to teach children about other animals... This would make a lovely gift for young children. -- Louise Nettleton * Book Murmuration blog *
'Sleep" is a gorgeous, gentle book, perfect for young nature lovers... This stunning information book, with its focus on sleep, will be a perfect story for sharing at bedtime. -- Emma Davis * Childcare Expo *
The majority of the book is a lovely bedtime story for the very young. Older readers will enjoy the backmatter, which expands on the earlier information and adds interesting tidbits... Facts to precede sweet slumbering. * Kirkus Reviews *
Infused with a lovely, gentle humour and with the added bonus of a factual section at the end. Perfect bedtime reading. -- Sarah Donaldson * Gardners wholesale publication *
I can't imagine anyone seeing the book's front cover and not wanting to pick it up!... The illustrations are quite amazing bringing to life the sleeping inhabitants of the book and showing their various habitats... This is a really lovely book to introduce the animal kingdom to young readers and perhaps great to read at bedtime, encouraging even the most restless of little ones that everyone goes to sleep! -- Victoria Dilly * The Book Activist blog *
This is a beautifully written book to awaken young minds to the wisdom of nature, to give them the gift of natural rhythms, and to inspire them with a profound respect for all that is quite simply normal and just right. * Bookanista blog *

About Kate Prendergast

After years of working in the transport industry and raising a son and daughter, Kate's growing interest in illustration led to an MA degree in Childrens' Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art. This is Kate's third picture book and a change of artwork style as her previous titles Dog On A Train and Dog On A Digger were both black and white illustrations.
