Franklin's Big Dreams

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Boris Kulikov. At night in Franklin's room, a strange crew builds (and unbuilds) huge construction projects, such as train tracks and an airplane runway. After realizing the crew is engineering dreams, Franklin requests his own voyage: to the moon. The narrative's matter-of-factness balances the mysteriousness of the dreams, while dynamic illustrations make the most of nighttime contrasts between light and dark.
