Jack and the Dreamsack

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ross Collins. One night, Jack feigns sleep so that he'll be awake to enjoy his dreams. He stuffs his sack with what he sees--a mouse with wooden hair, telephones with beards--but returns home to find it empty. The story's conclusion--that "wide-awake dreams" are best--seems unnecessary, but everything leading there is delightfully original. The surreal images are well chosen if occasionally awkwardly executed.
