PreS-K—A young boy named Morgan has a hat and a sword that allow him to be wild and fierce in the daytime, but at night he wakes up screaming from a nightmare about a robber who wants to take his hat and sword. When his Nana brings him a stuffed lion that becomes real in Morgan's dream, the boy is able conquer his fears. Originally published in German, the short story will appeal to readers of any age who are dealing with nightmares. The watercolor and pencil drawings are beautiful and comforting in calming blue and gray hues with small dabs of bright color to draw the readers' eyes.
VERDICT A first purchase for any parenting collection that includes books about sleep issues, with some appeal for a general collection.
