KIRKUS REVIEW
October 6, 2016
​
This debut picture book begins with two small children as they climb into their separate beds at the end of the day. But, as the text announces, “that’s where the adventure really starts.” The pages that follow present 11 different dream scenarios, including animals, robots, dinosaurs, fairy tales, cars and planes, and magic and monsters. The work describes each topic in a four-line stanza of verse simple and entertaining enough to be read to a 3-year-old, yet challenging enough to provide interest to 6-year-olds puzzling out words on their own. Roberts’ vivid illustrations provide engaging details without becoming too busy. Taylor’s choice of dream subjects covers many areas of perennial interest to children, and though one could wish for more episodes and diverse characters, the length is appropriate for bedtime-story reading. And the idea of sending children off to sleep with an upbeat suggestion of the vast possibilities of the dream world is original and empowering.  (...) The dreams give both boys and girls active roles, and the overall effect remains captivating and fun.
A short, charming bedtime book for children that stresses the positive power of dreams.

My 2yr old son loves this book, he loves picking out all the different animals, robots ect on each page & says the rhymes along with me.
The books illustration is so colourful it keeps him engaged the whole time.
Every night when he goes to bed I ask 'what story do you want' and his reply is always Dream o Doodle.

An enchanting book! The rhymes and images captivate the imagination of our daughter. Every page is a different dream, on themes such as magic, space, dinosaurs and cars, providing plenty of opportunity to explore a topic. The rhymes are fun and it is colourfully illustrated. I bought them for my daughter's friends at her birthday party and they all loved them!

Each page is a new world. My two year old really likes sit with it and point things out. Her favorite page in the one with the animals. I actually wish that I had bought the hardcover version.
