PreS-Gr 2–Who can resist just one more story, especially if it means keeping the bad dreams away? This digitally illustrated story provides beautiful pictures to go with the tale that turns bears (bad dream) to pears (better dream). It follows a predictive pattern that describes in words and pictures how a bad dream can be turned around. The story includes rhyming words. The illustrations match the descriptions in the book and provide readers with a vivid walk through the land of dreams. Children will enjoy reading or listening to the words and illustrations. Additionally, this title will help tame those bedtime woes of dreaded bad dreams and help turn it into a positive time for all.
VERDICT A great bedtime read-aloud that’s not essential to collections, but a winsome take on a childhood problem.
