From Booklist
At bedtime a young child reading the “star light, star bright” nursery rhyme with his mother drifts off to sleep and floats in a paper boat to a charming dreamland populated with welcoming playmates and a vast array of alluring fantasy creatures. The children frolic together and come upon a friendly, bright-red dragon who takes them on a short ride across the sky—until it’s time to say goodbye. The child is then escorted home by mermaids and sea creatures, while the dreamland children curl up asleep with the dragon. Although fantasy icons galore inhabit the dream (a pirate ship, unicorn, juggler, castles, hot-air balloons, and much more), the figures are small and either peek from the horizon or drift in and out of the action, so neither the ethereal watercolor illustrations nor the story told in a short, rhyming text feel overstuffed. Enchanted Lions by David T. Greenberg (2009) is another gentle nighttime romp. Preschool-Grade 2. --Randall Enos
