The Sandman

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Richard Cowdrey. Tor, a miniature man, discovers that small flakes from a dragon's scale cure his insomnia. Eager to help others fall asleep, he bravely collects more scales, sands them down, and visits children, tossing the magical sand over their eyes. Though the plot is uninspired, acrylic illustrations round out the story by providing amusing details about Tor's tiny existence.
