Review # 1 was written on 2009-11-05 00:00:00 Karl Conrad Moonbeam Dreams by Gina Browning is a sweetly rhyming tale perfect for bedtime. First Mia's review: I liked the rhyming. Here is one of my favorites: And I'll tell you a secret to add to your fun- just wiggle your ears or curl up your tongue...The book was all about dreams, and I want to dream like that from now on! She said "don't be concerned" a little too often. My favorite page was the one about the critters who eat Vegemite, but I had to ask my mom what that was! Her pictures were very colorful! Now my review: At first, I was a little put off by the ratio of words to pictures in Moonbeam Dreams, but Browning's eloquent turn of phrase and fast rhyming kept the pages turning quickly and kept Mia rapt. She was very fascinated by the munchers and crunchers and created her own story just about that one page! I think that's what the author is trying to encourage with this book. She wants children to feel free to dream without limitation or hesitation (she's got me rhyming now!) and to let their imaginations run wild. While perfect for nighttime reading and sending a little one off to dreamland, this is also an excellent read for daytime when a child can spend time examining each page and using it as a springboard for their imagination. It's a pleasure for both parents and their kids.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-04-20 00:00:00 Video Producer Moonbeam Dreams is a delightful children's fantasy book and a wonderful bed time story so perfect for all the little people, like my Grandson's, to all who are "young at heart"! Gina browning brilliantly invites us all to visit the "land of Beddie-Byes" with her bright and beautiful illustrations along with her Dr.Seuss- like- rhymes. The book begins with the invitation to put on "white wings of love" that will take you anywhere in fantasy land. I love Gina's choice of words that paint pictures for the reader such as: "Imagine your bed in a bowl of sweet cream - floating down rivers of marbles and beads." Then with this easy read picture book, you'll continue with the journey meeting very interesting characters created from Gina's wonderful imagination such as newts in lycra pantsuits, blue frogs in the trees, butterflies dripping with gems from their wings and gorgeous illustrations of mermaids and seahorses that are a delight for any young reader to see! What I especially love about Moonbeam Dreams is the warm, positive, fun loving story that encourages children to keep dreaming... to really believe and wish "the right wish"! Gina concludes with, "The sky is NO limit! So let yourself IN it! Whatever you wish will be right!" ***** Stars and I recommend Moonbeam Dreams to friends... worth buying!
