WHILE YOUNG DAISY SLEEPS, animals play and swim and fly. When she wakes up, her mother tells her about each animal in turn. John Butler's lyrical text and rich, vivid pictures make this a special book for sharing. Children can learn to count while they discover what animals do while we're asleep, and adults will be equally enchanted by the luminous beauty of Butler's brilliant, detailed illustrations.

Reviews
"...luxuriantly illustrated.... Butler's soothing, restrained text reads like a lullaby, but his full-bleed, double-spread animals portraits are the stuff of wide-eyed wonder, especially when he renders his subjects in close-up."Publishers Weekly "This delightful board book takes prereaders and beginning readers on a midnight adventure from their own backyards to an exotic jungle and places in between as animals leap, jump, and cavort across the sturdy pages.... The realistic, softly colored illustrations give an accurate portrayal of animals in their natural habitats as they show kids some of the amazing things that go on in the animal world when they are sleeping."Booklist
