Illustrated by
Peter Catalanotto.
One night, Pip runs into her cousin Joseph while visiting a fantastic shop that sells dreams. They both lay claim to a wondrous baby dragon, but when it gets loose and wreaks havoc, they work together to recapture it and contain the damage. Though the story's magical element is a bit too self-conscious and purposeful, Catalanotto's colorful shadow-and-light filled paintings provide dramatic images of the stuff that dreams are made of.
