WHO SLEEPS, WHO WAKES IN THE NIGHT?

Why Giraffes Sleep Curled Up and Octopuses Don’t Snore

  • Ages 8+
  • A beautifully designed work of non-fiction with 28 oil paintings.
  • Exciting and surprising facts about the sleep behaviour of 14 domestic and exotic animals.
  • Topics: non-fiction, sleep behaviour, wild animals, jungle, underwater, forest

Let’s head out into the night!

Which animals are nocturnal and use unusual hunting strategies in the darkness? Which animals snuggle up at night and sleep? And which animals have adapted their sleep to extremely unusual conditions?

Beatrix Mannel has many answers, giving examples from domestic and exotic animals, and provides numerous curious surprises worth knowing on the subject of sleep.

Karoline Benz has created real works of art with her atmospheric pictures that depict the night not only as dark but in all its facets.
