K-Gr 2—Hank is a little stuffed creature who lives in a beautiful forest. He tells his dream to his hummingbird friend, and as he describes it on one side of the spread, readers follow his account on the facing page. Throughout, Dudley takes readers inside the magical forest of Storywoods and Hank's world. The vistas are lush and the detail marvelously intricate. Young readers will be enthralled with Dudley's ability to create movement in stationary characters. This is the kind of book that appeals to anyone who has the luxury of remembering dreams and to those whose imaginations create worlds only found in dreams.—Krishna Grady, Darien Library, CT
In his first book (Hank Finds an Egg), Hank, who resembles a stuffed-animal monkey-bear hybrid, found a lost egg in the woods; now he tells his hummingbird friend about a dream in which he flew. The dream itself doesn't dazzle, but it need not: its job is to set up the exquisite handcrafted dioramas, which show Hank floating in a one-of-a-kind balloon of Dudley's invention.
