Sleep Like a Tiger - Mary Logue

In an innovative bedtime book for young readers, the fresh look of Caldecott Honor Medalist Zagarenski's luminous illustrations paired with Logue's poetic and unadorned language frame the very simple-sounding question: does everything in the world go to sleep? Full color. A magical bedtime story, honored as a Caldecott Honor Book. In sincere and imaginative dialogue between a child and her kind and understanding parents, the little girl decides in a cocoon of sheets, a nest of blankets, she is ready to sleep, warm and strong, just like a tiger. The lyrical narrative echoes a Runaway Bunny- like cadence: Does everything in the world go to sleep? the little girl asks. Artist Pamela Zagarenski's rich, luminous mixed-media paintings effervesce with charming details that non-yet-sleepy children can examine for hours. A rare gem.
