It's midnight on the farm. Somewhere two white horses lie down in the hay and dream of galloping over green hills. In the deep dark of midnight, everything on the farm sinks gently into dreamland. For one small child who watches through the window, that mystical time between wakefulness and slumber is as peaceful and comforting as the country whose name is sleep. Soon, he too will go there, but not before he catches a glimpse of the dreams that will come to each creature under the turning stars.
The illustartions for this book could not have fit the story any better. It is such a wonderful combination of words and pictures that my 3 year old will NOT put it down. I love it too.
A Masterpiece

I wish I could give a whole galaxy of stars to this book instead of only five! This book is a perfect bedtime story for a child or for an adult. The book is brimming with gentle, drowsy imagery and you feel softly drawn into the dreamy world of a warm night with moonlit pastures and peaceful, slumbering creatures. The art is EXQUISITE! We are beguiled with starlight and moonbeams, cascading magnolia petals, misty valleys, moonshadows and softly glowing embers in the fireplace. The sleeping farm and the little boy who watches the peaceful night descend complete this enchanting treasure.
