Animal Dreams by poet, teacher and children's author, Fred Burstein, is a special way of seeing how children see the creatures of their imagination.

Produktbeschreibung
Animal Dreams by poet, teacher and children's author, Fred Burstein, is a special way of seeing how children see the creatures of their imagination. In this case, it's a baby buffalo, a horse, a goldfinch, and a pod of whales. Each animal has a special message to impart to the dreaming boy, who, one imagines is the author. The animal dreams come swiftly on magical hooves, wings and fins. Every morning, after the dream, the boy asks his mother questions. Sometimes, it's the mom who asks the questions. They each, in their way, seek the meaning of the dreams and find that each dream animal is a fortifying friend -- a creature of spiritual power giving the dreaming boy strength and insight, and most of all, love. As a result of mother and son talking about the dream animals, the reader comes away feeling that the dream is not just imagination but reality. The illustrations that accompany the stories are as beautiful as the poet's way with words and they fully complement one another. Anna Burstein, the illustrator is a painter whose dream-like images are softly enchanting, dreams all by themselves.
Autorenporträt
Fred Burstein has had many jobs over the years: child mower of lawns; teenage "plower" of snow; adult actor; and elder teacher of the young. But whatever the job, his real work was to write stories and have them become books. This is his eighth published book, and like the first seven, this one is about growing up with animals. Fred Burstein and his wife Fran live in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains where their two daughters grew up playing in the woods, listening at night to owls and the brook below their bedrooms.
