( ) Beautifully illustrated -- really, I loved the drawings: whimsical floral and curvey patterns etched into the primary illustrations, paint-style washes, muted colors. (The note says the illustrations were created "by combining handmade painterly textures with digitally generated layers, which were then compiled in Adobe Photoshop".) [return][return]But the text was just not as good: It depicts lots of different animals and how they sleep. In this way, it is reminiscent of "Everybody Poops", but not as fun; and of "When I'm Sleepy" by Jane R. Howard, but without as much of a frame to hang it on. [return][return]So, 4 stars because of the illustrations, some of which I wouldn't mind framing. But the story alone would only get 3. "When the sky grows dark and the moon glows bright, everyone goes to sleep...except for the watchful owl." Na then describes how many other different animals sleep - standing up, on the move, quietly, noisily, eyes closed or open - but "when the sky turns blue and the sun glows bright...everyone wakes up! Except for the tired owl." Add this to the stack of great bedtime books.

PreS-K This starry wonderland soothes young listeners through succinct phrasing and powerful pacing. ... Dreams, enhanced through slight white outlines, provide an unusual nuance to this delightful tale. This refreshing glimpse into the whimsical world of sleep truly soars. Page 84 Prémios
While other animals sleep at night, some quietly and others noisily, some alone and others huddled together, a wide-eyed owl watches. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
