While the World is Sleeping by Pamela Duncan Edwards

A snowy owl takes a child for a nighttime adventure. They see what all the animals do while the world sleeps.

What I thought: Loved it! The text is pure poetry. The illustrations are lovely--just the right mixture of light and shadow. This book will spark readers' interest in the animals described.
