Very imaginative, with lush, detailed illustrations. It's a beautiful book with a heartfelt story, guaranteed to chase away any child's bad dreams. The book follows the adventures of three teddy bears who keep Heather's sleep safe from Bad Dreams. My daughter and I loved it.

My son is a "bad-dreamer". This book has become more than a book to him. The story is healing and the illustrations are gorgeous.
They are the most beautiful I have ever seen.
Buy this book even if your children sleep like logs.

As young Heather sleeps, Louie Larkey and the Bad Dream Patrol walk through her house scaring away the bad dreams. Louie Larkie is Heather's newest teddy, with lavender fur and red overalls. Her older two teddies, Nilla and Bosley, form the Bad Dream Patrol. Zsa-Zsa, the white stuffed cat, remains on the bed with Heather unless called into emergency duty. One night, however, Louie Larkey and the Bad Dream Patrol can't make it from the kitchen and up the stairs in time. Even though Zsa-Zsa springs to their aid, Louie Larkey is the third stair from the top when dawn ends nighttime magic. When Heather finds him, she knows her companion has been protecting her dreams.

Louie Larkey and his delightful companions are guaranteed to keep the bad dreams away in Linda Kay's latest creation. Kay's gentle humor combines with Nora Hilb charming illustrations to create a story perfectly balanced between the fear of bad dreams and an imaginative solution. These wonderful teddy bears, always an icon of protection and comfort, come alive with Hilb's colorful inks. Indeed, the bad dream looks a bit like a colorful bearded dragon, just whimsical and charming enough to entice young readers as they overcome nighttime fears. Destined to become young reader's favorite nighttime tale, LOUIE LARKEY AND THE BAD DREAM PATROL come very highly recommended.
