Naptime

(3) PS Translated by Shelley Tanaka. It's naptime, but none of the savannah animals is sleepy--that is, until a small girl tricks them into simply shutting their eyes. The book's wide, horizontal orientation suggests the act of lying down, while bold colors evoke sunset on the horizon. Spare text emphasizes the animals' stubbornness, inviting anyone familiar with the trials of naptime to delight in this short, clever story.
