Book Descriptions
for Turtle Dreams by Marion Dane Bauer and Diane Dawson Hearn
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
To prepare for the long winter ahead, Great-Great-Great-Grandmother tells a young turtle to go and gather dreams. But the little turtle doesn't know where to look! She asks an otter, a squirrel, and a bird for assistance, but none of them know anything about turtle dreams. All they can tell her is about their own dreams which, as it turns out, provide her with all the inspiration she needs for a dream-filled sleep. Full-color illustrations appear on every page of this clever easy reader. (Ages 5-7)

From the Publisher
Winter is coming and Little Turtle must get ready, but he just does not know how. Great-great-great Grandma Turtle only adds to Little Turtle's confusion when she tells her, "Go gather your dreams." This is a charming easy-reader chapter book. The large print text and the beautiful illustrations of the other animals that Turtle meets add visual pleasure to the story. Children will love being able to read about Turtle's adventures and will enjoy the self-confidence that comes from being able to "read it myself."
