All animals need to sleep, but sleeping can be a dangerous time. So animals have come up with lots of clever ways to make sure they can sleep soundly, without getting eaten, or too hot, or too cold, or too dry, or too wet. Filled with charming pictures of animals catching 40 winks, this thought-provoking book introduces a rich side to animal life we rarely think about.
