But Elephant, Snake, Monkey, Tiger and Crocodile aren't very happy about being woken up in the middle of the night. Will Sam ever find out why he can't sleep? With a colorful palette that is exciting yet impeccable for nighttime,
Sam Can't Sleepis the perfect "can't-get-to-sleep" bedtime story.
También disponible en español. (Also available in Spanish.)
A restless bat wakes every animal in the jungle as he asks why he can't sleep. Only when the sun comes up does he find his answer . . .
Silk screen-like art. The dialogue reminds me of a folktale, with the wise animals giving the young one counsel. Several wordless pages invite young readers to examine the expressions on the animals' faces and to infer their meanings. A nice offering for bedtime.---
