My thoughts about Where Do Dreams Come From? ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)

First line—"It was a beautiful sunny morning in Brookings, South Dakota. Oliver Schleicher, woke up with a big smile on his face because he had such a wonderful dream."

This is just the perfect children's book. I was first drawn to the vibrant colors on the cover. And dreams and dreaming have always seemed a bit magical to me so this title fascinated me as much as the cover did.

Where Do Dreams Come From? is a personalized picture book. I read it to my 2½ year old grandson for the first time recently and he was enthralled from the very beginning. He was so excited to hear his name read and loved hearing that Mommy, Daddy, and other loved ones in his life were a part of the story as well.

The adventure of learning all about Dream Land and the Dream Fairies kept his attention as much as the bright, colorful illustrations did. This is a book that will always hold a special place in his heart as well as mine. Each time he comes to Nama's house, we will get out Oliver's Dream book and read it again and again.

I received copy of this book for the tour and am voluntarily reviewing it.


Book Excerpt

It was a beautiful sunny morning in (child’s hometown). (Child’s name) woke up with a big smile on his/her face because he/she had such a wonderful dream. (Child’s Name) had a dream about playing their favorite game, with (friends/relative).

As (child’s name) got ready to begin their day, he/she thought, hmm… I wonder where dreams come from? He/She tried to think of the answer, long and hard, but could not think of where dreams came from. Then (child’s name) got excited – he/she was sure (parents or loved one) would know the answer. (Child’s name) couldn’t wait to see (parents or loved one) so she could ask.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? February 20, 2017


It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's an opportunity to visit other blogs and to comment on their reads. And ... you can add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. And here we are!

**************************************

We are having unseasonably warm weather right now. It has me thinking about getting the grill and patio furniture out but I know it's only February and we'll be hit with more snow, for sure. But I am loving the sun and warm temps all the same. 

We had another busy weekend full of grandkiddos. I have Monday off for President's Day but then I offered to babysit the 2½ year old. There goes my day of reading. Oh well, the books will always be there, we have to enjoy the kids when we can. 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a great week. Happy reading!
