This is a really sweet little book! In the story, animals let children ride them off into wonderful dreams where they get to do all sorts of lovely, fun fantasy things. In real life, the animals are usually a nightlight or a stuffed animal or a figure on a mobile; they always appear with the picture of the sleeping child as a real-life object. The illustrations are gentle and soft and whimsical, perfect for easing a kid into sleep. The muted colors help accent the idea that it's bedtime and things are calming down. The illustrations also indicate that if a kid goes to bed, he or she gets to go on some really awesome adventures, some of which include having tea with mermaids and landing on the moon to paint the stars. It's a fantastic, gentle book that would be great in a bedtime/nap time collection.
