This edition of DreamTime is specifically written for the folks reading aloud to children who may not be called Mom or Dad, but who are taking care of children just the same. They may be Gramma or Grampa, Uncle or Cousin, friend or guardian or helper -- anyone who is putting a beloved child to bed at night. This edition permits them to customize the verse to reflect who they are. The DreamTime cycle of rhyming poems and lots of child-POV illustrations tells the REAL story of bedtime. Forget oopy-goopy lullabies This book tells the story of "Wayfaring Dream Explorers and the Folks Who Love Them." We begin at day's end, when it's all we can do to get jammies on and lights turned off. But once intrepid sleepers set sail, adventures unfold. Dream Buccaneers set off for the wilds of DreamTime, leaving their timid grown-ups behind to wait for coming dawn. The cycle of poems concludes with the promise of a gentle welcome into morning as the dream explorers return to greet the day. Fun bedtime reading includes a glossary to reinforce both the playful and literary aspects of the verse. If you're a Mom or a Dad, look for your own versions: "DreamTime" or "DreamTime for Dads." Happy reading Happy dreaming
