Walter likes to think about a future full of fun technology, but doesn't go the extra mile to take care of his environment. One night Walter is transported in his dream to a bleak future in which the earth is forever changed by carelessness. ( ) Just a Dream by Van Allsburg is about a young boy who at first seems unappreciative of the things around him. Throughout the book he travels to many different settings in his “dreams” and by the end you can tell he is more appreciative of what he has ‘today’ rather than focusing on things he think might be in the future (robots, flying cars, etc.). I really enjoyed this read and am really growing to enjoy Van Allsburg’s work more and more. The illustrations are simple but tell a broader story. Van Allsburg uses both small and large illustrations and even though you can never really see a close up of the young boys face you can feel the emotion through each picture. no reviews | add a review
