In the sequel to When I'm Sleepy, colorful illustrations and a lyrical text encourage young readers to imagine what it is like to lap from a bowl like a puppy, eat fruit like a monkey, or sip nectar like a hummingbird.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3-- At the breakfast table, a young boy imagines what it would be like to munch a banana while swinging through branches with monkeys, sip nectar from blossoms with hummingbirds, lap milk with puppies, or dive for fish with ducks. He snacks with squirrels in a tree near his home and with koalas and pandas in far-off places. Finally, by dinnertime, he concludes that he is happiest at the table, eating with his family. Illustrations increase the value of this imaginative exercise. Each page is a lesson in habitat: jungle, garden, forest, backyard. Plants and settings are carefully portrayed in vivid colors rendered in fine colored-pencil shadings of greens, blues, and browns. Each page is a pleasingly composed picture, showing the boy surrounded by animals while he climbs, crouches, swims, or reclines as they do. Preschoolers will enjoy the many different animals found in the story; elementary-aged children will appreciate the fanciful situations and detailed settings. Teachers may use the book to introduce lessons on the similarity and diversity of the plant and animal kingdoms. It's bound to be popular with them all. --Nancy Seiner, The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh
