I am reviewing this book during National Poetry Month because this book felt like poetry without words. It also felt like a tribute to Winsor McCay and his Nemo. I have to admit that I didn't completely understand it -- my dreams perhaps are not as close to me as Mr. Banyai's are to him -- but my nine-year-old son, whose imagination and dreams have sparked many stories, understood this book perfectly. So I guess I also have to admit that I was not the target audience for this book. Dreamers, however, will love it.

A young boy's dream is depicted in a seemingly random manner but in reality his dream is inspired by objects found in his room. I like the concept but for some reason the illustrations were not as powerful as some of Banyai's other wordless works.

Objects and creatures change into different things in this wordless book about change. No plot, but imaginative picture combinations make the book.

His early work. Difficult to find our media center specialist at school found this after a brief conversation. You can see his later work in this early work. A delightful jaunt though the mind. The story arc captures our random thoughts and the concrete tangential connections between them. Whimsical and engaging.
