From tigers and turtles to gorillas and gators, Animal Naps explores the sleeping habits and locales of more than two dozen animals. Leopards, koalas, and some types of monkeys sleep high up in trees, while seals and tortoises doze on beach sand in the sunshine. Hedgehogs sleep in twig nests, kangaroos cover their eyes with their paws, and some types of bats pull their wings over their bodies like bedspreads! To stay extra worm, animals such as foxes bury their noses in their tails, while many birds hide their beaks deep in their feathers. Dozing animals are presented in fun, full-color photographs, while their sleeping behavior is explored in whimsical verse.
