This story is a great to read when talking about taking care of the environment or talking about the future. Author Website: www.chrisvanallsburg.com I really enjoyed reading the book, "Just a Dream." I would read this book to third, fourth, and fifth graders. the book begins at the little boys birthday party and someone gives him a tree as a present. He did not understand why someone would give him a tree. Well he falls asleep and his bed takes him for a ride around the world and shows him how much pollution and smog is in the world. When it gets to the end of the dream he sees his tree that has grown so big and is helping with the pollution in the world. When he woke up he realized why it was important to get a tree for his birthday. This book would be a great asset to a teacher who is teaching a lesson on the environment. It explains to children the importance of trees and keeping the environment clean. This book also lets children use their imagination. I would recomend this book to any teacher. Just a Dream is a story of a boy who thinks that the future is going to be filled with robots and machines that will do everything for you. He litters and does not sort his trash. he has a dream one night and all of his dreams of the future come true. This book starts out with Walter and Rose talking. Rose just had a birthday and Walter's is coming up, Rose had planted a tree for her birthday. Walter did not want to plant a tree, recycle, or pick up litter. When he went to sleep he had a dream that took him through the future. He was not happy with what he saw. The future was filled with pollution and everything that was not good for the environment. When he woke up he decided that it was a good idea to plant a tree, recycle, and pick up litter. Later that week he had another dream about the future. In this new future he found a clean environment. This book would be good to teach the children about recycling. Website: http://nevadarecycles.gov/doc/curricu... no reviews | add a review
