Sylvan Dell publishes the best in fun and educational children’s books, and Animals are Sleeping is no exception.
Any child who is approaching bedtime will love the lovely Animals are Sleeping. The text is low key and informative. The illustrations that accompany the text add so much to the story. The brief text entertains but also teaches the habits of individual animals that fly in the air, or live in water and on land.
The educational part of Animals are Sleeping includes animal sorting cards and various activities that will intrigue children and keep them coming back for more.
The illustrations by Gary R. Phillips are stunning! They are, without a doubt, some of the most beautiful pictures I’ve ever seen in a children’s book. The colors are bright, beautiful, yet soothing and are oh so inviting. They absolutely beg the reader to stroke the pages and are so well done, they could be framed.
Armchair Interviews says: Animals are Sleeping should be in every child’s library. It is brilliant!
