When she wakes up, her mother tells her about each animal in turn. John Butler’s lyrical text and 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.
