EducatingParents.org rating: Approved I read this to my seven-year-old niece while my husband added sound effects. My niece enjoyed the book. She is not necessarily prone to nightmare or bad dreams but she was telling me about a scary movie she saw recently & she worked to keep it from scaring her. This story was apropos since we talking about being scared and what to do to keep things light. I hope my husband & I created a memory for her while showing her how to bring on a smile when fear rears its ugly head. This book was about the little critter who was having a bad dream. In his dream he was able to do whatever he wanted and his family did not bother him. The big idea of this story was that he learned that as a child, listening to your parents is what’s best, and not telling them to leave you alone. I liked this book for two reasons. The first reason was because of the illustrations. For example, the cover was a very good depiction of the title “What a Bad Dream”. It showed him looking into the mirror and his reflection was him as a monster. The second reason I liked it was because of the big idea of the story. Most children think they would enjoy if their parents left them alone to do whatever they wanted. But the little critter got sad and cried because he missed them and realized all the important things his parents do for him. no reviews | add a review
