Animals Asleepby Sneed B., III Collard
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The average human sleeps a total of twenty-four years over a lifetime. Thats a lot of naps! Yet people arent the only ones who enjoy a good rest; if you look around, youll find that all animals have a biological need for sleep. But some animals snooze in ways that we would find startling—if not absolutely impossible. A sooty tern, an island bird, takes a nap in midair as it slowly flaps its wings. A fruit bat gets forty winks while hanging upside down from a tree branch. A bottlenose dolphin can put half of its brain to sleep while it continues to swim. What other remarkable methods of sleep exist? About the AuthorSneed B. Collard III presents a variety of living things on land, in water, and in the air to show how, when, and why baby animals leave. Joan Dunning"s bright and lively watercolors deftly portray these creatures breaking the bounds of home to find their own place in the natural world.Sneed Collard has written more than thirty books for children, including the critically acclaimed Animal Dads. He makes his home in Missoula, Montana, but travels around the world researching new topics and talking to children.
