I'm Dreaming About :By, Dan Jackson: (Book Review)

Okay, so anyone who knows one of us Chattaway's (knows) that we absolutely love to read in this house. So scoring a free book to read, in exchange for a book review, is probably one of our favorite ways of scoring. 

Book up for review (I'm dreaming about, By Dan Jackson.)

First thing you notice, is the adorable book cover. My children being HUGE animal lovers, fell in love with the cover of the story. 

Second thing you notice, is that this is more of a encyclopedia, or resource for information, rather than an actual children's story. 

Third thing (probably most important.) Is that the illustrations is what keep the child's attention. Some facts seem cool, others my daughter tended to blow off. "That being said- she is into story, type stories.) Now my daughter Erin, is very much into non fiction and this was right up her alley. 

So I had to read it twice, with two very different types of children. 

Avery - This wasn't the sort of story for her, although she did enjoy the free color pages that came with it! (BONUS- It comes with color pages that you can print out.) 

Erin, quite enjoyed all the little facts. In fact, I have overheard  her telling her father a few she had learned. 

The story itself is full of fun facts, well informative. The illustrations are cute and endearing. So while you are getting your kid to (aww) at the site of an adorable pup, they are soaking in, whether they know it or not, quite a bit of information. 

This is not one of those types of stories that you will spend night after night reading, and re-reading to an eager to hear what happens toddler. But for an educational purpose, its a ok!
