Dreamtime for You Amanda Mctigue

The DREAMTIME cycle of poems is meant to be read aloud to/with children who are either too wound-up or night-spooked to welcome sleep. It's boy- and girl-friendly. It's also all-kinds-of-parents friendly. This edition of the DreamTime series -- DREAMTIME FOR YOU-- is specifically written for grown-ups 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 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 called DREAMTIME and DREAMTIME FOR DADS right here on Amazon.  Happy reading! Happy dreaming!
