"The concept of the Good Dream Dragon will reassure little ones who might have nighttime or bad-dream anxiety.... Dreamland itself is, fittingly, safe and whimsical. The illustrations are soft with twilight purples and playful patchwork scenery. The idea of a protective dream guide is perfect for the preschool crowd, often newly aware of nighttime fears. Sweet and gentle, an ideal bedtime read."--Kirkus Reviews
