Review by Stacey
Do They All Sleep? is a young children’s picture book that is about a child wanting to know if animals go to sleep like him. The author takes us on a journey meeting lots of different animals to find out how they sleep.
I love the idea behind the book and the artwork which is bright, full-page, and colourful is amazing. However, I do feel that the book would have worked better if the same question would have been put to each animal, rather than a different word to mean sleep used for each one. Children learn to read by repetitiveness and I think the author missed a trick here to use repetition in her work.
Putting aside my tiny issue above the book is an enjoyable read. Children will enjoy meeting lots of animals and finding out how they sleep, I also love the section at the back where if you get the paperback copy the child can add their photo and write how they sleep too.
This is a decent picture book that is inviting and interesting and will keep a child entertained.
