Dormouse Dreams

(4) PS Illustrated by Renata Liwska. A dormouse hibernates in his nest, dreaming of spring and of his friend, a dormouse girl. Meanwhile, in the fanciful illustrations, his friend travels by plane, sled, and other means to join him as spring arrives. The poem is lilting, if sentimental and overly syrupy ("Two friends tail-in-tail / pitter patter down the trail"); Liwska's digitally colored pencil drawings have a cuddly softness.
