Now in a Spanish-language edition!Definitivamente Jabari está listo para saltar del trampolín.Sus clases de natación ya habían terminado. Había pasado la prueba.

It's not as fun as sleeping high up in a tree like a koala, or hanging upside down like a bat. And it's definitely not as relaxing as sleeping standing up, like an emperor penguin. But after mimicking all the ways different animals rest, this little one concedes that a comfy bed, a soft pillow, and a good-night wish offer the best way to fall asleep after all"--
