Items related to Dormouse Dreams
As Dormouse dreams--and snores--his way from winter to spring, he imagines going on fantastical adventures with his best dormouse friend. Whimsical illustrations feature other animals entertaining themselves with dart games, cross-country skiing, flying airplanes, and more while Dormouse hibernates. Readers can also follow the friend's journey to Dormouse's house, where she wakes him up for some real life pleasures, including daydreaming. This is the perfect bedtime book to snuggle up with when spring isn't coming fast enough.

About the Author:
Karma Wilson began writing children's books after she became a mother (and she received a tax refund that allowed her to buy a computer!). Her first book was Bear Snores On, which became a best-seller and spawned a franchise. She now has over thirty humorous and rhythmic picture books to her credit, several of which have received state and national awards and been translated into many languages. She lives in Huson, Montana.
Renata Liwska was born in Poland and now lives in Calgary, Canada with her illustrator husband. She is the illustrator of several picture books, including the New York Times best-selling The Quiet Book and its companions by Deborah Underwood. She is the author/illustrator of Red Wagon and Little Panda, which received multiple awards for illustration. Renata starts a project by finding a quiet space in which to sketch, and then allowing the characters to do whatever their hearts desire.
From School Library Journal:

PreS-Gr 1—"Deep in the woods, in a pine tree house, curled up in a ball sleeps a little dormouse." Bears aren't the only animals that hibernate, and this dormouse is dreaming of a visit from a friend, and all the things they will do together when she arrives. But soon readers notice that there is a parallel narrative. While the title character appears in more and more adorable sleeping poses (with upturned pink paws and a tiny stuffed bunny) and his dreams appear as springtime wishes, his friend is indeed on her way to him, ferried by a menagerie of forest animals. As winter turns to spring, the dormouse visitor gets closer and the separation between dream and reality a little more difficult for readers to discern, which makes this title better suited for a lapsit than a group read-aloud. Wilson's rhyming couplets have a comforting rhythm. Liwska's full spread pencil drawings, digitally layered with warm color, beg for a close reading; every animal's expression is worth a second look, and her method of building texture is interesting and can be easily imitated. VERDICT A sweet and tender title for one-on-one sharing either at bedtime or while waiting in anticipation for the season to change.—Lisa Lehmuller, Paul Cuffee Maritime Charter School, Providence
