ReviewsPraise for Good Dream Dragon: "Unable to sleep, a child summons the help of the 'Good Dream Dragon' in this fairy tale-like story of nighttime hijinks.... With a final allusion to bravery, Davis lightly inserts emotion into what's otherwise a pleasantly straightforward bedtime aid."--Publishers Weekly "The concept of the Good Dream Dragon will reassure little ones who might have nighttime or bad-dream anxiety.... Dreamland itself is, fittingly, safe and whimsical. The illustrations are soft with twilight purples and playful patchwork scenery. The idea of a protective dream guide is perfect for the preschool crowd, often newly aware of nighttime fears. Sweet and gentle, an ideal bedtime read."--Kirkus Reviews
