This one is an actual dream sequence, but still a stellar, wordless tale.
I adore how you really have to pay attention to every picture. If not, you will miss all the amazing details of how things flow into completely unexpected other things.

Such a wonderful book!!! His work is so amazing to look at, and as good luck should have it my teacher went to college and lived together, so the stories about him just make the books that much more entertaining.

I don't like this wordless picture book as much as some of his others

This is not really a story, but an exploration of someones dream. It is a wordless book so my nephew loved it and he came up with quite a story. We always let the nephew tell us the story with a wordless book as he can read it. He comes up with out-there stories, but they are funny and exciting and they don’t always relate to the material.
The artwork is very dreamlike here, of course. What I love about this is how one thing flows and melts into another thing or scene. The checkered bedspread becomes a landscape as you would see from an airplane. The landscape becomes a checkerboard with talking pieces which become a castle. I mean the associations David is making are brilliant. I love how the trees are also the opposite of the spine of a book. It’s the pages part. It’s fantastic.
David is brilliant and man, he put some work into this. I think it’s fabulous. It’s not my favorite as I don’t think it’s as coherent as some of his other stories, but it’s still wonderful. I would love to own this. I haven’t seen a David book I did not like of his thus far. I’m working through his catalog.
The nephew gave this 5 stars and the niece gave it 3 stars. She wanted more of a story and she thought the artwork was special, she didn’t see the point of it.

The images feel a little bit loose. Don't get me wrong, they are beautiful, but I fail to see the connection between them to build a compelling story.

It's in the spectrum between In the Night Kitchen and the Imagine a... books by Sarah L. Thomson and Rob Gonsalves.

Wiesner once again creates an image-only ride through the clouds of dreams. The illustrations are stunning, particularly the book-forest.
