Je to nabité fakty jako encyklopedie a čte se to dětem před spaním. Co je to? Máte doma malého mudrlanta, který každou pohádku podrobí palbě nedůvěřivých otázek? Jak to, že vlk Karkulku nerozkousal, když ji sežral? Jak to, že se Popelce vešly do oříšku celé šaty, když mně se tam nevejde ani ponožka? Je to sice znakem bystré mysli, ale kdo si má ty odpovědi pořád vymýšlet. Možná by pomohlo držet se reality. A neznamená to, že musíte před spaním číst zrovna encyklopedii (i když zase tak daleko od ní nebudete). Ve třiceti kapitolách této knížky, která je jako stvořená k večernímu čtení, najdete atraktivní témata vážící se k spánku, snům, hibernaci apod. Je nabitá ověřenými fakty a zajímavými informacemi, přesto se skvěle předčítá a hlavně poslouchá. A k tomu je celá nádherně ilustrovaná, takže je to radost i pro oko. Pozor, učení těsně před spaním je nejefektivnější, protože ve spánku mozek třídí informace a bezprostředně je ukládá do dlouhodobé paměti. Takže se pak nedivte, až vám z malého rozumbrady přes noc vyroste vědátor.
