Algimantas Stankevičius, Inga Dagilė. Kas kaip miega? (How Do They All Sleep?), Kaunas: Žalias kalnas, 2020. – 24 p.  

This cosy bedtime book presents a list of who is sleeping at home and how. It explains that a carpet sleeps while lying down, the paintings while hanging, and the table while standing. Everyone is sleeping – and it’s time for the child to sleep, too. The slow pace of the book and the rhythmic repetition of the word “sleep” has a soothing effect, putting the young listener in the mood of falling asleep, just like everything described above.
The artwork of the book has a cosy feel and is very professionally done. The illustrations are composed over the spreads, featuring a beautiful palette and memorable characters with a positive attitude.
