Dreamy Days and Random Naps

This charmingly illustrated little book features conversations between Mawson Bear and Samantha, and other intriguing figures such as Professor Caddy and Scotland the Brave. It is perfect for a parent settling down with a youngster reluctant to go to sleep and on the edge of dreams. It is filled with whimsical word games that a child would engage in—like Blib the Gizfong or a wish-back lamp, with questions that intrigue such as the concept of that moment just before you begin to dance or the notion shadow-poems fluttering at the edge of sleep. The images are funny, comforting, and cozy, finally arriving at that satisfying conclusion of the “sudden feeling that everything will be alright.”
