Why Do I Need to Sleep?
Johanna Pomeroy-Crockett, Haris Ichwan
Paperback
(Educational Activities, Inc., April 3, 2006)
Using this read-along story, children read about why sleep helps them and how to prepare for sleep. This story integrates science and health facts with a charming story about Lily who has not been getting enough sleep. Children learn that: Sleep helps you grow. Sleep helps you think, listen, and work. Sleep helps you get along with others and feel good. Nightmares are bad dreams that your brain makes up. They will go away when you tell someone. Going to sleep is easy when you know how. The accompanying CD includes a read-along narration with turn-the-page signals, music and sound effects; an uninterrupted narration; plus a sing-along song. A guide, bursting with activities for school and Parent/Family activities for home, is also on the CD and can be printed using Adobe Acrobat.
