While You Were Sleeping

Meer over het boek

While you were sleeping... one tiger went hunting in the jungle, two mice made a warm, cozy nest in the hay, three bears played chase in the snow... Take a trip with young Daisy through the animal world in this exquisitely illustrated counting book. When Daisy wakes up, her mother describes how animals all around the world play and swim and fly while she sleeps. Children will count along with Daisy's mother, from "one tiger hunting in the jungle" to "ten penguins jumping out of the icy sea...to meet one hundred friends." And then they can count for themselves the many animals in Daisy's bedroom. John Butler's lyrical text and rich, vivid illustrations make this a special book for sharing. Adults and children alike will be enchanted by the luminous beauty of Butler's stunning illustrations as they discover what animals do in the nighttime hours.
