My Dreams

This third entry in the BabyBasics line follows a child through a fantasy dreamscape as he rides atop a bird and a whale, spends time with a princess, slides down an elephant’s trunk, and more. Deneaux brings a toylike aesthetic to the pages, drawing the scenes in chunky red, black, and white shapes, accented with foil and glow-in-the-dark elements. The first-person text consists of the boy’s accounts of his surreal travels (“Sometimes—whee!—I sail among the stars on my magic carpet”), and the imaginative variety of adventures he embarks on should leave young children with the sense that their nighttime dreams can truly take them anywhere. Up to age 2. (Sept.)
