Martin and the Giant Lions

(4) PS Illustrated by Elizabeth Sayles. Martin's mother won't let him climb to the top of the "giant jungle ladder" at the playground; she fears he'll fall. One night, Martin dreams that he rides his purple truck to the sandbox, where he meets a friendly lion cub, and together they climb the ladder. The fantasy-minded prose verges on preciousness at times, but the tale is absorbing and the muted pastel illustrations nicely evoke the after-dark setting.
