What happens while we sleep-and why do our bodies need so much of it?
When Sherlock starts yawning after a day full of adventures, Watson has questions. And when Watson has questions, there's a mystery to investigate.
In Watson & Sherlock: The Mystery of Sleep, Watson and his trusty doodle detective, Sherlock, follow the clues to discover what our brains and bodies are doing while we sleep. Along the way, young readers learn how sleep helps us grow, learn, remember, feel, and get ready for another day of exploring.
Created by sleep scientist Brooke Quinn and inspired by the real-life curiosity and questions of her son, Watson, The Mystery of Sleep turns real science into a playful investigation that children and grown-ups can explore together.
Rather than simply telling kids that sleep is important, Watson & Sherlock invite them to notice, wonder, ask questions, and keep investigating their own amazing bodies.
Perfect for bedtime, classrooms, libraries, or any curious child who has ever asked, "But why?"
Inside the case:

• Kid-friendly explanations of the science of sleep
• Playful illustrations and detective-inspired storytelling
• "Case Notes" with extra sleep facts for curious minds
• Questions and clues that encourage children and grown-ups to keep learning together
• A story designed to make health and science feel approachable, memorable, and fun

Ideal for children ages 4-8 and the grown-ups who learn alongside them.
The Mystery of Sleep is the first book in The Adventures of Watson & Sherlock, a children's science and health-literacy series following a curious boy and his loyal doodle detective as they investigate the clues our bodies give us and discover how the world around us works.
Keep asking questions. Keep looking for clues. Keep investigating.
