The Dreamtime Fairies

Rating:
Summary: Don't Be Afraid of the Dark
Review: Simple but lively text tells the story of big sister Lucy (a natural born story teller herself) and the way that she helps her little brother, Jamie, overcome his fear of the dark. Charming, big bright illustrations, many of them full double page spreads show the journey that Lucy, Jamie and their bedtime friends Bear and Floppy Rabbit take to find the land of the Dreamtime Fairies. Lucy thinks the Dreamtime Fairies will know how Jamie can fall asleep without being scared. They meet lots of charming characters in the process and all have suggestions to help Jamie but nothing works quite right until they finally do meet the dreamtime fairies. This book is so lovely and filled with tender loving images that it is sure to help soothe and comfort any little one who gets spooked by nighttime shadows on the walls. It offers a whimsical and positive solution for a youngster whose imagination gets stuck in the dark places at nighty-night time and gives them their own built-in nightlight to switch on at will. Sweet.
