Dreams Are More Real than Bathtubs

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Marie-Louise Gay. The narrator reveals her worries about going into Grade One as she talks of her stuffed lion, her family, and--most of all--her bad dreams. In the end, these worries are resolved rather abruptly; however, the narrator, with her fondness for wordplay, has an engaging, realistically childlike way of speaking, which is complemented by the energetic, scribbly illustrations.
