From the intro:
The naked female body has inspired artists from the beginning of time.
The poet, the sculptor, the painter and, more recently, the photographer, each in their own medium, expresses the beauty, fragility and power of her form.
Sometimes the image is made for profit, or vanity confuses the objective, and rather than the muse offering a glimpse into higher worlds, she has been subjected to baser realms. What this book offers is an alternative.
This is a work that celebrates the diversity of the female figure with respect and humour. It is about the women you know – all shapes, all sizes, from diverse backgrounds and of differing nationalities.
Rather than plastic, pouting personalities, here are real women sharing an intimate moment with you.
Their uniqueness and appeal is interspersed with erotic poetry and salient quotes too. The words of celebrated beat poet John Esam, and the lauded William Shakespeare, Walt Whitman, SK Tremayne and Chaucer, as well as lesser-known writers, all add to the richness of this publication.

Simple early reader that explains the importance of sleep. Although it doesn’t sound like a very interesting topic, there were some great talking points brought up in the book-our organs keep working while we sleep, sleep walking/talking, hearing and sleep, etc.

This book talks about the importance of sleep and why we all need to have a bed time! At the age children are probably reading this book, is when they begin to be more stubborn about going to sleep and having a bed time! The book talks about dreaming and how fun it can be for children to dream at night.This book made me a little sleepy when I was finished reading it!
Another great informational book teaching children what happens when we close our eyes at night. Images of the children in the book were also cute and can be an easy relation to the children that age also. This book reminds me of how I never wanted to go to sleep when I was younger. I think the text in this book is for younger children such as preschool.

Used this for a children's story time. Good book with open ended questions.
