Sleep Like a Tiger

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.
