Clare Helen Welsh All the Animals Were Sleeping

A beautiful picture book about the ways in which animals sleep in the Serengeti, written by award-winning author Clare Helen Welsh and illustrated by the winner of the 2019 Waterstones Children's Book Prize, Jenny Løvlie. On the dry, grassy plains of the Serengeti, a little mongoose makes his way home to his burrow. On his way, the mongoose passes giraffes, zebras, monkeys, elephants, storks, lizards, butterflies and cheetahs, all sleeping in their own unique ways. A stunning, lyrical and reassuring bedtime story, perfect for young animal lovers, with non-fiction facts at the end.
