Even an owl needs to sleep sometimes. It's bedtime, but Aurelia is still full of energy. She doesn't want to go to bed yet because she has so many ideas for games and adventures! Her dad yawns. "Dear Aurelia, everyone needs to sleep! Even an owl needs its rest." But how do owls sleep, like a meerkat, a hedgehog, or a flamingo?

A goodnight story for children who don't want to sleep. How do animals sleep? Interesting facts about native animals and zoo animals. Aurelia asks, Dad answers: child-friendly texts and short sentences. Illustrations in clear, vibrant colors bring the children's everyday life to life.

Recommended as a children's book by AJUM. Perfect for reading aloud to toddlers from 2 years old and for preschoolers. Sleep like meerkats and other bedtime rituals. With every line and every picture, both young and old readers can feel how much the author Dorothea Flechsig loves animals and nature—just like little night owl Aurelia, the charming main character of the book!

The illustrations by Suse Bauer encourage children to imitate. This transforms the bedtime book into a bedtime ritual: sleeping in a squat like an owl, curled up like a hedgehog, or falling asleep in a pile with all their stuffed animals like the meerkats. Aurelia now knows how little animals go to sleep. But how do gorillas sleep? Just like our little heroine and her dad in the last picture: cuddled up together. With this picture book, even little whirlwinds like Aurelia can fall asleep peacefully!.
