A bit twee but perfectly executed. Good bedtime story for ages 2-4.
A great bedtime story that uses reverse poetry. The first half of the book follows a little boy floating around in his bed. In the middle he reaches out to a girl and then the poem is repeated but in reverse. The images a beautiful and with many small details that would be best enjoyed one-on-one.
I really like the idea of this book, but I don't love its execution. Maybe it's because the text seems like it's trying a bit too hard to be Seussical? The made-up words kind of broke the spell for me, because I was trying to figure out what they corresponded to in the illustrations. (The illustrations are gorgeous, though - and I especially love the dream-shapes.)
nonsense words, can be read backward and forward with the entire book repeating either way, very cute

This books can be read from front to back or back to front which is an interesting layout to a book and may engage more reluctant readers as they may feel ‘rules’ they see around reading do not have to be followed. The connect of the two children through this way is nice, showing the similarities they experience even though they are individuals. There are lots of abstract and made up words to describe what they find in their dreams which children may relate to, feeling unable to explain some things they dream about because there are not the words to do so. A nice calming read aloud story for FS and year 1 children.
