Water Beds: Sleeping in the Ocean is a soothing bedtime story that answers the question of how marine mammals �`'- animals that breathe air �`'- manage to sleep in the ocean. Youngsters meet ten marine mammals, including sea otters, bottlenose dolphins, manatees, harbor seals, humpback whales and walruses, and learn about each animal�`''s unique sleeping habits. Although the brief portraits are based on up-to-date scientific research, author Gail Langer Karwoski weaves the facts into simple, poetic language. Connie McLennan�`''s rich oil paintings capture the ocean�`''s habitats and its appealing creatures. The story invites children to drift into peaceful sleep on the gentle waves of imagination. An educa-tional supplement in the back of the book includes teaching trivia about marine mammals, their sleep habits, and how they have adapted to their watery environment, and make-your-own marine mammal craft using various animal adaptations. Ages 2-8
