Product Description
Built around the colour artwork, this series is aimed at first readers. By comparing two ideas these books are designed to capture the personality of different animals. In this book, the author takes various sleepy animals (mouse lemur, dormouse, koala, bear and hamster) and compares them to busy animals (racoon, macaque, water shrew, orang-utan and red squirrel). By "captioning" the illustrations and giving a little information about each animal, the work is intended to stimulate the reader's interest in the animal world.

Great for young children. October 4, 2001
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Sleepy and Busy Animals is one of four books in the Animal Opposites book series for young readers. The book highlights ten mammals and describes them as either sleepy or busy. For each animal there is a drawing and a description of how it behaves (e.g. koalas sleep eighteen hours a day and are active at night). The information is perfectly appropriate for pre-schoolers. It introduces young children to the idea that different animals have different needs and behaviors. It also serves as a good introduction to opposites.
