Perfection in book form.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book is just beautiful - both the story and the art work. My 3-year-old daughter loves it so much. It is one of the first books she has wanted to read over and over and over again (generally she likes a variety). Not only is the story fabulous and the art work absolutely captivating, but the lesson learned in it is wonderful. I may just make a dream jar for my own children so that they don't have to worry about bad dreams. I'll bet it would really work. The descriptions are very well illustrated - I can't say enough about the illustrations - I just want to crawl inside this book and live in it. It inspires me to try to create something beautiful myself. This is the greatest gift that literature (children's or otherwise) can give us, I believe. If you have a little kid in your life who either loves to dream or is afraid of dreams, this book is for you.
You have a MAGIC WAND--use it!

This is author Lindan Lee Johnson's first book and I hope not her last. My nearly 4 year old daughter and I love it. The story is about a little girl who has scary dreams. But thanks to her wonderful older sister whom she shares a room with she gets a number of pointers that change her nasty dreams into fantastic dreams. And they are the kind of practical suggestions that can help any child who suffers from nightmares. The author, who has studied Jungian dream analysis, must have had her own dreams come true when Serena Curmi illustrated her book. The pictures are beautiful, fun, and--DREAMY!
Childrens Dreams

The Dream Jar presents an engaging approach to dealing with dreams and nightmares. An excellent introduction to the concept of lucid dreaming, and a useful approach for parents working with their children's experience of nightmares. A warm and realistic story that children will enjoy and learn from.
A Pleasant Dream Book!

I was impressed with the little girl telling the story to her sister, in a way that you would expect sisters to share secrets. The message is beautiful even for children who don't have scarey dreams. For younger children, the illustrations are so vivid, they completely tell the story without the words. I'm giving this as Christmas gifts to four children so far.
A voyage of the imagination

The Dream Jar takes you on a wonderful voyage of the imagination. The combination of delightful, original ddrawings and an important message (delivered in a totally NON-SAPPY way!) will make this a bed-time standard. This is a great gift book for all the nephews and neices and grandchildren and god-children on your list. You can make a "dream jar" for them to go with it too!
