Dream Animals: A Bedtime Journey Board book – August 25, 2015

My son got this as a gift & he loves it! Awesome board that we liked enough that I bought the kindle version too. I highly recommend for young children

I saw TenHundred paint his daughter's room inspired by this artwork. Gifted these to friends and family. Beautiful artwork and cute story.

This book was selected for a baby shower library builder for my grandchild. My first attraction was the gorgeous illustrations, and then the beautifully written, imagination-provoking writing. I’m such a proponent of provoking children to love books - this one was a perfect choice!!!

10 stars! By far the best bedtime book we've found, and we have at least 40 on rotation. Very few make it into the top 4 slots that are read nearly every night. So far this book has been requested each night and ONLY this book. We read it 4-5 times and she spends minutes gazing at the incredibly magical artwork on each page. Today she re-created the under-the-sea mermaid tea party dreamscape! (see photo)Emily Martin is our new beloved author and illustrator! My husband is an artist in the film/animation industry (also writer) and he was wowed by her work and in awe. The ultimate judge though, is our daughter, who is 2 and 4 months. She is an extremely picking bedtime book reader.Some of her favourites include:Bear Snores OnSteam Train Dream Train (close to the top of the list now) Steam Train, Dream TrainThe Big Red BarnThe Wonderful Things You Will Be (by Emily Martin)The Goodnight Train The Goodnight TrainGoodnight Moon (no longer in top 4 but was for a year)Journey (by Aaron Becker) JourneyBedtime in the MeadowBedtime Lullaby

What a lovely and magical book! The illustrations are darling and the story really sparked the imagination of my daughter. I also really loved the story which makes a difference when you are reading it to your child multiple times in a row! We decided to go with the board book version so it can stand up to little people and they can "read" it on there own if they want which was a good choice because it is much sturdier and has the same content and beautiful colors. If fact we all love Dream Animals so much at my house I am thinking about integrating it into my nursery theme for baby #2 on the way. (The author has an Etsy store where she sells prints of her work and I am planing on picking up a few.) I plan on making this wonderful bed time story a gift for my friends with babies on the way so that it can become a special night time ritual for them too. I would highly recommend this book to anyone with a special little person in their life.

....by my new favorite artist. I am not sure how I found this book, came across it one day looking at books here on amazon. I adore children's books that are beautifully illustrated, I collected them before my children were born and have continued to since. We have a wonderful collection, and I tend to prefer older stories, yet this new book stands out as one of the very best. It is simple, it is beautiful, it is a perfect bedtime or anytime story. In it, you see rather plain images of a child sleeping with their beloved stuffed tiger or their bird mobile followed by lovely images of their bedtime animal leading them through their dreams. Children can easily be engaged throughout the simple story, by asking about where their own bedtime friends will take them, and how (and if they are like mine maybe each night they have a different favorite animal!) My children love to look at these pictures and point out what they see and think. For anyone who truly adores the artwork in this book, since discovering it I have found her online and on etsy (she is the best selling artist ever on etsy, and the artwork in this book is available there).

We absolutely love this book. We had this many years ago when my bow 8 year old was 2. Now that I have recently had another baby, this book was on the top of our list to purchase again. Sweet story line, beautiful illustrations, not too short and not too long. It's just right! :)

The art for this book is amazing. I gifted this book to a friend and have one for my daughter and it’s always a fan favorite. It brings imagination to bedtime and me and my husband love to read it with our little.
