5 Minute Really True Stories for Bedtime

192 pp. | What on Earth/Britannica | October, 2020 | Trade ISBN 978-1-912920-65-5 $12.99
(3) K-3 These bedtime "stories" offer short, engaging chapters on all manner of things sleep-, bed-, and nighttime related. The topics covered include the science of sleep and dreams, sleep customs around the world (and in space!), history of sleep spaces, overnight shift workers--and that's all before turning to the natural world and animals, the night sky, astronomy, and star gazing. With ten different illustrators and four authors, the collection manages to maintain a cohesive look and tone throughout; both text and art are playful and informative. A list of websites and sources, a glossary, and an index are appended.
