Sweet Dreams, Bruno

(4) K-3 Translated by Kathryn Bishop. Illustrated by Eve Tharlet. Even though marmot Bruno knows it's time to hibernate, he doesn't want to sleep. His animal friends suggest Bruno spend the winter (awake) with them, but he reluctantly hunkers down. Then, as Bruno hibernates, his winter dreams have him flying alongside swallows, climbing mountains with goats, etc.: "Anything is possible in dreams." Full-spread, earth-toned paintings create an attractive rural landscape for the heavy-handed story.
