A sweet, lyrical bedtime story about baby animals falling asleep on the African savanna, perfect for lulling animal-loving kids to sleep and teaching them about wildlife.
When little giraffe falls asleep,
she folds into a pretzel
and lays her head on a perfect pillow.
It's nighttime on the savanna, and ten little animals are drifting off to sleep. Little cheetah runs her tiny motor, and little crocodile rests behind a fence of teeth.
With sweet lyrical text from award-winning author Stephen R. Swinburne and adorable illustrations by Carolina Grosa, your sleepy child will meet baby animals of the African savanna, including little elephant, cheetah, crocodile, giraffe, ostrich, lion, hippo, rhino, and flamingo.
More than an adorable bedtime story, Sleepy Savanna weaves fun animal facts into a soothing read-aloud, making it both educational and calming. It's the perfect bedtime board book for animal lovers and trips to the zoo, or a sweet baby shower gift.
Available in English and Spanish!
