The Sandman: The Dream Hunters by Neil Gaiman
4.0

This is, according to the Afterword, the retelling of a Japanese folk tale, interpreted by Gaiman and illustrated. The artwork is ethereal, vague, and very stylized. The story itself is a straightforward one, that fits in surprisingly nicely with the Sandman series (Gaiman mentions his surprise at this in the interesting Afterword). There is some very stylized nudity (breasts by Picasso, e.g.), but I think this is actually a good fairy tale to tell to kids aged 8 and up, with those 10 and up probably truly enjoying it.

I only compare the general themes (learning Buddhist teachings) and stylized artwork. I would almost classify this as a YA novel, and will probably pick up a copy for long storytimes at night.
