Gentle, Beautiful, Calm
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This is one of the most beautiful poetry books I have read in a long time. Yes, the illustrations are incredible, but they just accompany the great poetry. My children love to have this book read to them at bedtime, and I love to read it to them. I like the way the poems make my voice sound magical. I like the way the room feels as we listen to them. When the book is done, my children and I feel peaceful. My favorite poems are 'Night Garden' and 'The Ones They Loved Most'. Thank you Janet Wong for a new family treasure.
Exploring Her Dreams
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Janet Wong writes a collection of poems based on dreams, and uses these to relate to children on several different levels. She uses adult sub-themes that children often don't see, but at the same time these children are seeing a world that previously had only been in their minds. Wong's poems are based on child-like dreams, such as the sensation of falling, finding an old friend, and being alone. Her stream of consciousness style lends to the feeling of a child's dream, and helps to draw in readers of all ages. The illustrations are active and fit with each poem's style, helping ot keep young readers stimulated and interested. This book proves that poetry can be fun and enjoyable, even to small children. Adults and children alike can use this book to escape into the world of dreams without needing to leave reality.
vivid and surreal - dreams come alive

What a book - from beginning to end awash with images of dreams. The artwork beautifully reflects the words. I recommend it to anyone who dreams, or dreams of dreaming.
