Dream Animals is a beautiful Picturebook by artist and author Emily Winfield Martin. The poetic story is about all of the different animals that take you to your dreams. Animals that live in dreams and in the stars, helping children reach their dreams every night.
The major strength in this book are the pictures, this should be no surprise to followers of Emily Winfield Martin's work. The animals and children in this book are complete works of art. They look like they come straight out of a fairy tale and any page on this book could be framed as a piece of art.
Another strength in this picture book is the way that it flows, Martin uses a poetic language that take the reader from page to page, lulling a child into sleep. Each animal is riding across the page to the right, helping the reader know when they need to turn the page and keeping the story flowing. It just works, each page in this book is beautiful from verse to picture.
This book is a beautiful addition to any library or home collection. It is stunning and the poetry inside will help your child fall to sleep and dream of fantasy. It helps the reader grow to read fantasy and will enrich your nighttime routine.
