This book has amazing art work by Jerry Pinkney, the same artist who illustrated the Little Match Girl. It is a story about Albidaro, the watcher of children, who sees that children are tired of obeying their parents so he watches with delight as a dream beings to visit all the children of the world and tell them to disobey their parents. It would be a good book for children, not only because it is about children, but because it would teach them a good lesson. Not only did the children of the world receive this dream, but the animals of the world also did. They started invading the children's homes and messing things up. The animals would not obey the children and they felt the frustration and anger that many parents might feel when their own children disobey. This brought the children and the parents together as a team, instead of focusing on each other as the enemy. This could possibly open up children's eyes to see what their parents might feel by imagining how they would feel if an elephant broke all their dishes or a giraffe got in their shower.
