A Book of Sleep by Il Sung Na

A Book of Sleep by Il Sung Na

A very short picture book perfect for bedtime for the under 4 crowd.  With less that 20 words on each page and soothing, beautiful illustrations ("created by combining handmade painterly textures with digitally generated layers, which were then compiled in Adobe Photoshop"), A Book of Sleep talks about how various animals sleep (standing up, alone, etc.) while the owl stays awake and watches them all.  Would make an excellent gift for a young child.  (I haven't asked my six-year-old about it yet, but I know that the text is probably too simple for her to read it more than once.)
