While You’re Asleep

In the spirit ofThe Panda Problem, this funny, raucous, and ultimately satisfying (Mac Barnett,New York Timesbestselling author) meta picture book shows what both diurnal and nocturnal animals get up to while youre asleep.

When the Earth slowly spins and light fades away, animals hunker down for bedtime. But the narrators cozy story is interrupted by fireflies flickering, raccoons enjoying chicken dinners, and foxes planning a nighttime festival. The narrator eventually gives up trying to get the nocturnal creatures to go to sleep like everyone else as skunks, beavers, and more gather for a midnight soiree youd have to see to believeif you werent asleep!
