Illustrated by
Joyce Wan.
Rhymed text invites engagement from the listener ("Look! I see a sleepyhead cuddled in a nest") to observe animals slumbering: a bear in a cave, duckling in river reeds, and others. Close-up, starlit illustrations, rendered in pencil and colored digitally, capture the cozy nocturnal sleeping places. The quiet bedtime story ends comfortably--with a sleeping child in Mama's arms.
