Before I Wake Up by Britta Teckentrup
3.0
A beautifully illustrated bedtime-dream story with rhyming couplets.
I truly adore the illustrations in this book as well as the soft, dream-like sentiments. UNfortunately, the narrative felt forced--perhaps a translation? and bored me rather than transported me. But it is a well-designed and executed picturebook, but the marriage of excellent illustrations and lackluster narrative really detracted from the possible "wow" of this title.
