Kids Corner Blog Tour: Jack's Dreams Come to Life by Sara Jackson

Today I am participating in a Blog Tour for Jack's Dreams Come to Life by Sara Jackson.  I am always looking for new books for little monkey so I jumped at the opportunity to review this one.

This book was beautifully illustrated.  This family of dog lovers wanted to cuddle with each one of them.  The story starts out with Jack romping around his ranch looking for something to do.  Doing the things that dogs do, Jack has great fun playing with a stick that turns out to be a snake, and nosing a ball that turns out to be a turtle.  I could have read an entire book about these adventures to Monkey.  The story changes directions at this point.  Jack won't play with the other two dogs because they are puppies and dismisses them in favor of a nap.  It is during this nap that Jack's Dreams come to life. He dreams of a five foot tall squirrel, falling down a hole and squeaky toys circling around him.  He gets into a barking/quacking competition with his toy duck. 

The story is full of imagination and might be enjoyed by an older child, but was a bit too abstract for the monkey. 

Disclosure:  I was provided a free copy of this book by the publicist in exchange for my honest review.
