Where Do Ocean Creatures Sleep at Night is spectacular! The artwork is colorful, and the story is full of facts about animals and their sleeping habits/locations. I found the sharks and whales sleeping habits to be particularly interesting!

I think children of all ages will enjoy this book from the colorful illustrations to the rhyming words.

I received an ARC from Charlesbridge via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

What a sweet bedtime book with a ton of facts about underwater creatures!

There are a ton of facts about water animals and ends with how they sleep. It’s easy to understand and would be great for a wider age group.

The book is written in rhyming verse with gorgeous, muted illustrations.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for the ebook in exchange for my honest review !

Beautifully illustrated. The colors in this book pop right off the page. The information shared with the reader was well presented and definitely accessible for the intended audience. The topic was something that was fun and encouraged curiosity outside of this book alone. The ocean is such a vastly untapped field of study for us as humans due to its depth and because of that learn bits about it and those who live in it, can pique both curiosity and imagination.

This was very cute. And fascinating. I can easily see how this could become part of someone's bed routine with their child.
The illustrations were lovely and interesting to look at. And the author had choosen a good variety of sear creatures that all sleep in diffferent ways. It was actually very fascinating to learn about and reflect on how varied nature is.
And I loved the ending, reminding the child that now it's time for them to go to bed as well. Loved it. If I had a kid on my own that I needed to guide to bed on a regular basis, I would 100p buy this.

We loved this book.In this rhyming picture book we get to see into the ocean and learn how the many different animals sleep at night. The illustrations are very vibrant and colorful. With simple text we learn how each animal sleeps during the night. We loved the clownfish and the seahorses. We were so excited to receive this as an ebook ARC and we will be buying it as soon as it comes out. We plan to read it again and again, especially as we get ready for a trip to the aquarium at the end of April. We will get our book just in time. Your family will enjoy this book. It would also be great to use in a classroom. Possibilities are endless.

This non-fiction title is a beautifully illustrated book that certainly answers "Where Do Ocean Creatures Sleep at Night?" This book has great vocabulary, a variety of ocean animals, and rhyming text. It is a book I would use for a story time as it is a factual book with bold illustrations to talk about with kids. It can also be used as a bed time story as it links children going to sleep in comparison to how the animals go to sleep.

What a beautiful book! The illustrations are captivating and my small human loved how the words rhymed.

The book talks about the various sleep routines of creatures who live under the see. Really important information written an a very accessible and informative way.

Really great story for Early Years as well as a brilliant bedtime story.

I received a copy of this eBook for a honest review from NetGalley.

This picture book is beautiful and informative! I learned some things and I wanted to be a marine biologist growing up. The illustrations are wonderful and the story flows even while giving out numerous facts. I would highly recommend this picture book.

This book is filled with such great facts that are not as well known. It's presented in such a way that is engaging and predictable with the rhyming. The pictures are beautifully illustrated.

A beautifully illustrated non-fiction book about our friends under the sea. So many really fascinating facts about sea creatures that I bet you didn’t know. For instance, did you know octopus sleep in holes and can change color to blend in better with its surroundings while it sleeps? This book will make you appreciate how nature has given sea creatures special traits to keep them safe while they do something so simple as sleeping.

This is a spectacular book!! From the artwork to the words, this book captures it all!! My 2 year old son loved listening to the book and looking at all of the wonderfully drawn pictures. It kept his attention!! I love that it rhymes and provides facts related to the various ocean creatures. I can't say enough great things about this book! We've actually read this book over and over again at bedtime. Since the book talks about how ocean creatures sleep at night, it is the perfect book to read your young ones before bed!! 5 Starts!!!

Thank you #NetGalley and #Charlesbridge for the opportunity to read this book early in exchange for a review. All opinions and thoughts are those of my own (and my son's opinions). #OceanCreatures #WhereDoOceanCreaturesSleepatNight

This book has beautiful illustrations. The color differences between awake and asleep can lead to some great class discussion. I love when a book rhymes but the rhyming doesn’t take away from the content, which this book achieves! The book answers a great question, but doesn’t feel heavy in non-fiction.

This is such a great book to share with kids before a beach trip or even during a marine science homeschool lesson. There were many different types of sea creatures discussed which I think adds to the engaging quality of the book. I think that this is a story that young ocean lovers would be a big fan of and also would be a great book for an ocean themed summer reading program.

As someone who loves the ocean and seeing the different creatures within it, I enjoyed reading this book to my little one.

With rhyming text, the author questions where certain commonly known ocean creatures sleep at night and reminds readers that sleep is important for all growing creatures, including children. Delightful illustrations accompany the text.

Cute book. The artwork is nice, and the information all rhymes. Nonfiction books for small children are always a good idea.
