The highlight of this wordless book by Robinson are its illustrations, which are somewhat evocative of Eric Carle. However, Robinson adds a couple of interesting things: first, a broad cross-section of children from different backgrounds and second, looking at things from different perspectives (in almost an Escher-like way.) The story did not make much sense, at least to me. This book features no words. The story is told through pictures/illustrations alone. That is a tough task, but Robinson does well. The colors are comforting for a story that follows twist and turns that can make a person uneasy. The funhouse effect of the story is entertaining, and the illustrations are exceptionally well done. Children's Lit, Picture Book, Adventure, Illustrations. This was very fun! I love the idea of entering into a sort of dream world alternate reality. Really, we do it all the time when we dream anyway, so I think kids would find this to be a very entertaining read. I also liked how inclusive it is, including children of different races, ethnicities, abilities, and religions. no reviews | add a review
