Dorothy is a little girls who doesn't like sleeping in case she misses something and because her dreams are not very nice. One night, however, she has a good dream and, presumably, sleeps happily ever after. The illustrations are attractive, fluid watercolours and the print clear and well-spaced. The story is rather fey for the tastes of young children, perhaps, and the implication that one can choose one's own dreams is odd. Parents might like the possibility of saying 'Go to sleep and you might have a nice dream like Dorothy', but I don't think it would work!
