Review:
"That's what goals are," Princess Greta added. "Something to keep you going until you reach the place you're trying to get to. Without a goal you just wander in circles with no finish line. Everyone should have a goal and although there will always be obstacles on your way towards reaching that goal, knowing that it is there will give you strength to carry on."
James goes on an adventure to Dreamland. A place where children's dreams live. As children grow older these things are forgotten and Dreamland is slowly disappearing. James must face his fears and save Dreamland or he and all the other children may never sleep again.
This is written as a cohesive novella based on stories that the author would tell his son before bedtime.
Besides this being a whimsical and an enjoyable story. There are many important lessons included throughout that I appreciated and feel would be great for children to learn. Lessons that would make them see their own self worth and believe in themselves. To never feel that they are failing, to never give up, and as long as they are trying their best they will succeed at achieving their goals.
As someone who works in an elementary school, children are a very important part of my life. I will be gifting to this to the teacher and the class and I hope they enjoy it as much as I did.
Paraprofessional approved!
