Sweet story. Perfect for nighttime rituals. With the lulling words and quiet illustrations, it's a calming story.

Beautiful illustrations. What do the animals dream and what do you dream about? Lovely rhymes too.

So beautiful! Such a lovely sentiment with repeated poems, the illustrations are soft and add to the text.

A rhyming depiction of the dreams of various animals.

While this would make a decent bedtime book, as the rhymes and rhythm can soothe and relax, for a general read it is very boring. I adore the watercolor illustrations--reminiscent of Jon Klassen. But I just wanted the narrative to end.

Beautiful, but lengthy and repetitive. Would work for a storytime and could abridge pages as necessary.

A very quiet and soft look into what animals may be dreaming about. This would be a wonderful wind-down book before bed.
