As part of the Mysterious You series, this book examines the natural phenomenon we call sleep. Readers of this non-fiction book will learn numerous interesting facts about sleep including: the four
stages of sleep; our internal clock that tells us when to be tired ; why we yawn; why teenagers stay up late and sleep in longer than their parents; insomnia; narcolepsy and sleepwalking. Young
researchers will find the table of contents and index helpful tools when embarking on science projects at school. For children who prefer fact to fiction, the easy-to-read format of this book will
appeal to a wide range of readers.
The illustrations are humorous and entertaining while the sidebars of textual information are short enough to keep the child’s interest yet long enough to provide
attention-grabbing details. As you’ll see there is definitely more to sleep than letting your head hit the pillow at night. The other books in this series are Baa!, Burp! and Hmm?
