Completely bizarre, just like some dreams. This book was a lot of fun. I especially liked the page that shows the “Emperor� leaving the cave with the big and baby dragons following and the text on the last page with text. Very funny! I simultaneously liked and disliked the illustrations; I finally came down on the side of feeling positively about them because they certainly fit the story well.

I do think that I’ve seen the whole dream thing done better but I’m not remembering in which specific books.

Lisa Vegan Abigail, This is one of the few times you've awarded more stars than I have. But it sounds as though we feel similarly.

Lisa Vegan I'm wondering when Barbara McClintock's China book is going to be out. Or another book.

Cassie Glad you added this one. I really loved the images! If you remember another one with a dream theme let me know.
