Dream Away

Written in both English and Spanish, this is a soothing, rhythmic poem that is perfect for bedtime reading. The rhyming and repetitive narrative takes a father and his son on a magical journey through the stars. The colorful illustrations are muted, but fantastic and show a mythical ocean in the stars.

This book was so peaceful that it made me yawn with the rhythm and dreamy illustrations. Repeating line throughout the book hints at the tone of the book "dream away, dream away, sleepyhead. love. set sail for the ocean of stars up above."

At bedtime, a young boy looks forward to falling asleep and dreaming about sailing the ocean of stars with his father.

A very lovely good-night read. A rhyming, singsong lullaby of a book, a father reading to his child, venturing in in a paper hat boat through constellations come life.

the most amazing thing about this book is that it is the illustrator's first kids book. how many caldecotts will he get?

A bedtime, and a tale of a dream and the adventures of the dreamer as he sleeps.

Sweet, slight bedtime rhyme.
