My Friend Sleep

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Hannah Peck. A girl describes her nightly journey with "my friend Sleep" through various happiness-making dreamscapes (a land of sweets, a fair) and the occasional spooky scene ("Sometimes Sleep takes me to places that scare me a little"). Sleep, who resembles a child in a semitransparent gray snowsuit, is a marvelous invention, but the mainly blue-and-orange-hued art is awfully frantic for an intended soporific story.
