Sleepy Snoozy Cozy Coozy A Book of Animal Beds Written by Judy Young and Illustrated by Michael Glenn Monroe
In the branches of a tree An eagle sits so worry-free He shuts his eyes to get some rest All comfy in his great big nest A sticky twiggy Very biggy Round and scratchy Feathery patchy Picky pokey Piney oaky Place where you won’t lay your head But to an eagle it’s a bed Eagles build the biggest nests of all birds Up to ten feet wide and weighing several tons these nests are like huge platforms made of sticks with a soft layer of moss leaves and grasses on top Eagles return to the same nest each summer year after year They live on it until their babies fly away Eagles have three eyelids They close two when they sleep The third is used to clean their eyes when they blink How many eyelids do you close when you sleep
