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, into the land of dreamy dreams.
