Book Reviews of Sweet Dreams, Douglas

Book Review: The perfect gift for the 3-7 year old child in your life
Summary: 5 Stars

Sweet Dreams Douglas is a wonderful children's book about a dog-child named Douglas who doesn't want to go to bed and doesn't think he knows how to dream. Perfectly suited for ages 3-7, Sweet Dreams Douglas bridges the tender gap between the fun of wide awake play and the joy of deep asleep dreams. Children who fear bedtime will be especially reassured and empowered by its humourous illustrations in inviting, soft yet vibrant colors, skillfully executed by author/artist Regan Dunnick.

In the story, Douglas goes on a dreamquest adventure, asking a fantastic variety of animal friends what they dream. In an effort to find his own dreaming ability, Douglas tries "on' all their dreams and finds that nothing quite fits him. Finally one of his dream companions tells him his answer - "Just dream, little one." Then he really begins to explore some dreams of his own. When Douglas wakes up, he is proud of his dreaming accomplishment, and coincidentally all the animal characters in his dream are found in toys and pets and pictures in his room around him.

The subtle soft pastel charcoal and muted greens, flesh, mustard and salmon palette are colors that encourage drowsiness, an invitation to deep creative dreaming. Sweet Dreams Douglas is deep and delightful, quiet and wise, refreshing and healing, like deep sleep.

Sweet Dreams Douglas is a reassuring, imaginative bedtime story book, bound to be beloved by children of many origins. The multitude of models in the dreamquest gives a positive message to the affirmation of cultural/racial and other differences. Sweet Dreams Douglas is the perfect gift for the 3-7 year old child in your life, especially if they are not fond of bedtime.
