Format: Hardcover
This book is appropriate for four year olds and older. The book along with the illustrations would entice them and they would enjoy the story. The implications of the story overall will be lost on a 4 year old. This book tells the story of a mother and her baby, and the dreams she has for her "someday". Dreams that she will walk into a deep wood, dive into a deep lake, leave the house, have her own kids, etc. The book is very sentimental and emotional. The illustrations feel soft and the text is written not straight across the page but sometimes arcing between two pages. It is written in a font that looks very similar to a child's handwriting, and that adds to the whimsy. Although this story is not about going to bed, or of that nature, I think the soft illustrations and sentimental words would make a fantastic story for bedtime.
