Did you know there is an art to how dogs sleep? Discover the hilarious ways dogs sleep in this playful and irresistible debut picture book!

Dogs can fall asleep at any time: right after breakfast, in the afternoon, or in the evening. But how do they do it? Let’s pay attention closely, as there are quite a few details to observe, such as finding and preparing the perfect spot, stretching each toe bean eeeextra wide, and breathing long and slow.

Subtly inviting the reader to slow down and be mindful, this charming picture book with its wide cast of adorable dogs explores their secret and slumbery world and invites you, too, to curl up, close your eyes, and drift off to sleep.
