Ideal for bed time reading, this book will appeal to parents and children who love Grandfather Twilight and On the Night That You Were Born. Author, illustrator, and creator of The Black Apple Etsy shop, Emily Martin convinces children to close their eyes and discover who their dream animal might be-and what dream it might take them to. With a perfect nighttime rhyme and gorgeous illustrations, this book is irresistible. Separate ends and a matte cover with spot lamination complete the package.

This is a wonderful book that takes us on a dreamland adventure through the stars with the help of animal guides.  It is beautifully illustrated and I loved that they looked old fashioned, like something seen years ago.  They were sweet and Lilly couldn’t stop looking at them either.  The pictures had beautiful color and a joy to look at.

The story itself had good rhythm and flowed well, even though it had minimal words throughout the story.   We had to read this one at bedtime on several different occasions.  It has definitely become a favorite and we are going to have to add this one to her growing book collection.

Overall Lilly and I loved Dream Animals: A Bedtime Journey and give it 4 Stars.
