Sweet Dreams
Sweet Dreams: Poems and Paintings for the Child Abed | Rick Telander
3 posts | 1 read
With 42 original poems by author Rick Telander and an equal number of full-page, full-color illustrations from 42 different artists from four countries, Sweet Dreams is a beautiful, easy-to-read poetry collection in the fashion of Robert Louis Stevenson’s century-old classic, A Child’s Garden of Verses. Started when Telander was sick in a bed many years ago and had begun writing the poems in his head, this bookis a work of caring for young boys and girls who must make that ordinary yet complex and sometimes frightening transition from waking reality to the land of Nod. Sweet Dreams will amuse, delight, intrigue, and above all soothe any child before sleep. This bookis a gift to all children, the way the best illustrated words can be.

“Sweet Dreams“

blurb
baranskilydia13

These poems are good stories to read at home before bedtime. These stories are a good tool for parents to read to get their child introduced to poetry. If a child is struggling to get into poetry at school. The teacher should have their parent/caregiver read them one of these stories before bed.

This book had easy poetry stories for young students to read and understand. I thought this book would be a good addition to any classroom. This would be a good book for all ages. Whether the story was being read or the students reading the poems they should be able to understand
