From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1 - This bedtime confection presents several arctic animals and raises the question: "Do they dream like you do? Imagine it's true./Let's see what dream secrets they keep." Each spread shows a sleeping creature with the rhyming text wrapped around it. On the opposite page, the animal's "dream secrets" are depicted. For example, a lynx dreams about skiing, a poodle imagines running in the Iditarod, a musk ox visits a hair salon, and a loon becomes a rock star. The story ends with a mother tucking her child into bed with his stuffed polar bear and explaining, "With each sleep comes a wondrous surprise." The artwork is pleasant, yet the style is uneven. Some dream illustrations have a surreal quality while others are more realistic but lack dimension. Another inconsistency is a poodle among native arctic animals. This book would be suitable for large collections where there is a high demand for sweet bedtime tales. The calm repetitiveness of the slightly silly text and the subdued illustrations would surely help young ones fall asleep. - Linda Staskus, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Parma, OH
