How Do You Go to Sleep?

Description

How Do You Go to Sleep? is a perfect night-time read, bringing together adorable baby animals and bedtime in a fun and educational board book.

Discover how different animals go to sleep in this rhyming picture book by veteran children's author, Kate McMullan. Follow along as three children learn about the bedtime routines of squirrels, parrots, dolphins, and many more. Meerkats sleep in a stack. Is that how these kids go to sleep? Or do they hibernate in snow all winter long like frogs? Or perhaps they sleep the day away like skunks? No, that can't be right!

By the book's conclusion, the kids have imitated all kinds of animals who are portrayed sleeping in their natural habitats, thanks to Sydney Hanson's charming illustrations. Readers will recognise the way the human child eventually goes to sleep—with stuffed animals, a bedtime story, and a kiss goodnight!

"A bedtime book that will soothe and please children and caregivers."—SLJ

She has been fascinated by the Lewis and Clark Expedition since the age of ten, when an uncle told her about an ancestor who had gone on the expedition. That ancestor was sixteen-year-old George Shannon. Kate lives in New York City and Sag Harbor, New York, with her husband. Sydney Hanson is the New York Times bestselling illustrator of Why a Daughter Needs a Dad by Gregory Lane, and has also illustrated How Do You Take a Bath? by Kate McMullan, Panda Pants by Jacqueline Davies, and Rise and Shine by Raffi.
