A review by calistareads
Dreams by Ezra Jack Keats

4.0

I love the colors and art details in this story.  Ezra is amazing at his skills.  The story is simple and humorous.  Roberto has a mouse made of paper from school and he wonders what it can do.  One night when he can't sleep, he looks at his window and sees a cat trapped by a dog.  Roberto knocks the mouse off the window seal and it falls and the light makes this huge shadow cast by the paper mouse so that it scares away the dog. 

The artwork makes the story worth it.  It's a great bit of color, imagination and story telling.  I recommend it. 

Also, here is another book from 1974 - a very amazing year!
