SLEEP LIKE A TIGER

A 2013 Caldecott Honor Book In this magical bedtime story the lyrical narrative echoes a Runaway Bunny – like cadence: “Does everything in the world go to sleep?” the little girl asks. In sincere and imaginative dialogue between a not-at-all sleepy child 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 Caldecott Honor artist Pamela Zagarenski’s rich luminous mixed-media paintings effervesce with odd charming details that nonsleepy children could examine for hours. A rare gem.
