Picture books are one of my very favorite types of childrens' books. Such marvelous illustrations, what great imaginations on the part of author and illustrator - they make me smile.
I saw one advertised about a mini-man and dragons, and I had to order it for me. It's The Sandman by Ralph Fletcher, illustrated by Richard Cowdrey.
It's a luscious book! This one is definitely a keeper. There's a tiny man who has a mouse for a pet (and who is bigger than he is) who has problems sleeping. Then he finds a dragon scale and is grinding it down for use later, when he discovers it puts him to sleep!
So he has to brave the dragon to get another scale, and then he sets out across the country as Mr. Sandman.
The graphics are rich, the story line is cute, and any one small one should be entranced. What a great story to read aloud at bedtime!
I highly recommend this book, folks. Find yourself a copy!
