Dreaming (A Countdown to Sleep)
Elaine Greenstein's DREAMING evokes the same sweetness as her earlier books MRS. ROSE'S GARDEN and THE MITTEN TREE. Her illustrations in this book seem familiar in a nostalgic, comforting way. Perhaps they remind me of Van Gogh's 'Starry Night' with a pastel, feminine twist. DREAMING is a hypnotic, backwards countdown from ten that would lull anyone, young or old,...

This one's going back
The pictures are beautiful, but I didn't like the story at all. There was no rhythm or rhyme to the words, and the story was disjointed and unconnected. Not sure what the author was trying to do here ...

Peaceful bedtime counting book, not a storybook,
This review is from: Dreaming: A Countdown to Sleep (Hardcover)
This is a quiet, peaceful book. There's no story, really, just counting. 10 silent houses; 9 trees; 8 leaves; 7 stars; 6 fish; 5 clouds; 4 peaches; 3 foxes; 2 water lilies; 1 swan. "Here you are, almost sleeping" "Sweet dreams." Each page has good descriptive language for the objects being counted. A good book to read last at bedtime.
