{"product_id":"summertime-sleepers","title":"Summertime Sleepers","description":"\u003cp\u003eSummertime Sleepers introduces young readers to the fascinating and little-known phenomenon of estivation — the warm-weather counterpart to hibernation — revealing twelve animals from spotted turtles and pixie frogs to desert hedgehogs and yellow-bellied marmots that enter a prolonged dormant state during the hottest, driest months of the year to survive. Melissa Stewart's lyrical dual-level text presents the science accessibly for both younger and older readers, while Sarah S. Brannen's exquisitely detailed watercolor illustrations — paired with naturalist-style sketchbook pages — make each creature come alive. This is an outstanding science book for students because it teaches a genuinely surprising biological concept with beauty and rigor, sparking the kind of curiosity and wonder that makes children fall in love with the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Books del Sur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43837614391414,"sku":"9781623544898","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1752\/6773\/files\/Summertime_sleepers_bb2430ae-1f67-4d13-b3bf-d7b4c6eeaf2b.png?v=1783017760","url":"https:\/\/booksdelsur.com\/products\/summertime-sleepers","provider":"Books del Sur","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
