This book discusses many different ocean creatures and how/where they sleep. It is an interesting concept and one that I never really considered. There are pretty illustrations with great colors. The rhyming lines make it good for young readers.

Thank you, Charlesbridge, for the advance reading copy.

I find this book so interesting. It’s full of illustrations and the most colourful pages!

The book tells the different sleep routines of different beings that are living in the ocean. It’s been shown in a fun and entertaining way! Surely I can guarantee that the adults reading along with will also learn a lot from this book.

Where Do Ocean Creatures Sleep At Night is a nonfiction book about ocean creatures’ way of living. From this book, you will find out about their characteristics and of course, how they sleep.

Because this book is a nonfiction book, I did not expect that the writing would be so beautifully engaging. I thought it would be straight-up to tell the reader some facts about ocean creatures, but apparently, it was not! The Simmonses use rhyme and their choice of words is beautiful. This book does not feel like nonfiction at all. It feels like a tale that you can read to your children at bedtime.

I highly recommend this book. It is not only informative but also entertaining, and the illustration is so pleasing to look at.

Children will easily follow this adorable nonfiction picture book! While the title indicates the focus is on where the animals sleep, the information does not stop there. Before the sleeping place is revealed, each creature gets a little rhyme informing the reader of something of the creature's nature. The sleeping place also gets its own rhyme making this a great book for little ones!

To give appropriate feedback on Where Do Ocean Creatures Sleep At Night?, I read the book to our 2-year-old son:

The book "Where Do Ocean Creatures Sleep At Night?" quickly became a favorite after just one reading. Initially, my son wasn't paying attention, but as I read on, the illustrations and rhymes caught his attention. He even asked me to reread it (twice). We both started to understand the rhythm and flow of the book and were able to make a song that my son was nodding along to.

I really enjoyed reading this book by Simmons & Simmons because it presented a lot of factual information in an easy to understand and entertaining manner. The book's overall structure kept my son interested, and I even learned a thing or two about sea creatures myself.

My son enjoyed Harper's illustrations, naming several sea life he recognized.

I highly recommend Where Do Ocean Creatures Sleep At Night? for parents whose children are interested in ocean life, enjoy books that rhyme, or for those who want to add some non-fiction to their children's mini-libraries. I'm definitely planning to buy Where Do Ocean Creatures Sleep At Night? as soon as it is available.

I'm a teacher for children 3-6 and found this book lovely! The images are realistic and really pretty, which I think children will enjoy, plus the information is really interesyand engaging. The balance of image-text is really adequate for this age group and I love a nice book with rhymes! I think they always add something special since they are hearing other forms of language.
I really loved this book and definitely will buy it in print to add it to my school and personal library.
Thank you for the ark!

I received this book as an ARC via NetGalley and am so happy I did. I read it to my kids before bed and they loved it! The pictures were beautiful and they enjoyed pointing out the various animals. I even learned a thing or two about how some of them sleep. The writing was well put together and flowed nicely with the rhymes. I am thankful for opportunity to involve my kiddos with the review!

Just read with my daughter
I love how cute this book is with the illustrations!
Each page tells facts about the sea creatures on the page and then what they do to get to sleep, in the end I love how it shows human children and then how we sleep in dry beds ! This book would be amazing for a teacher and or home school mom wanting to teach on sea animals or a specific animal like sea turtles or sea horses ! Though is a fun read it has such amazing facts that children can truthfully learn from and will adore .

Thank you to Steven J. Simmons, Clifford R. Simmons, Charlesbridge, and NetGalley for the ARC.

This book was cute and very informative. The artwork was beautiful. I read it with my child (5) and they liked it but it was a little hard to keep their attention towards the end because the book was a little long. I’m going to try reading it again at bedtime. All in all, I would definitely recommend this to others!!
