Dream Mouse
Book Review From BOOKLIST:
Ages 4 - 7. Based on the dainas, a form of ancient Latvian folk song, this
lullaby is about the Dream Mouse and the dreams and sleep he brings to
wakeful children. Traveling with his cart, the mouse goes from house to
house, leaving dreams in his wake. The dreams, written images culled from
150 dainas, are pictured in Mitchell's fantastical illustrations, and the
lulling, loving combination of words and pictures is tied together by the
mouse's travels. A softly colored painting of a sleeping child surrounded
by sweet dreams is at the end of the mouse's journey. -- Janice Del

Book Review From THE LIBRARY LTD. BOOKSTORE:
I can't say enough about The Dream Mouse and the experience of reading it
to my children. My girls were mesmerized by the beautiful lyric language
and stunning illustrations, as if an ancient grandmother were singing them
to sleep! -- Rick Neubert
