What happens when you need to take a nap but your only wake-up call is from a sloth? Tigre is enjoying the jungle breeze when suddenly he feels sleepy. He asks a nearby coati if he could wake him up in 10 minutes. So begins a pattern, as we see one animal ask another for a wake-up call, until we arrive at the last animal, a very, very sleepy sloth. This ideal choice for a read-aloud uses repetition to help children anticipate what's going to happen next, thereby engaging the reader. The exotic animals, meanwhile, introduce children to other creatures of the natural world. Chilean author Mena does a wonderful job with illustrations, using the full size of the page to depict each animal in sleek shapes and bright shades of orange, red, blue, and purple.
