Five funny tales featuring Lowly Worm, Huckle Cat, Bananas Gorilla, and the rest of Scarry's memorable menagerie are collected in a sleepytime anthology.
Retold by Stephanie Laslett Illustrated by Andrew Geeson. Simple text and colourful pictures make the Sleepytime Tales series ideal reading for the very young
PreSchool-K-With appealing covers, large type, and bright photographs of adorable animals, these books are bound to please. On each left-hand page, a short sentence describes a zoo animal's sleeping or water-related behavior, which is then illustrated in the photo on the right. Children will recognize many of the animals, though a few may be unfamiliar (crested crane, ibex). Sleepytime captures the quieter side of zoo life with pictures of a koala sleeping on its mother's back and flamingos dozing standing up, while Splashtime captures animals in their more playful moments, showing tigers playing ball and polar bears boxing.
