Loneliness can be tough for kids, especially when they’re away from their loved ones. Whether it’s a parent on a work trip, a grandparent who lives far away, or even just a child spending their first night in their own room, the comfort of a familiar voice can make all the difference.  

Dream Animals is the perfect book to pair with the Read To Me Recordable Book Buddy because its gentle, rhythmic storytelling and dreamy illustrations create an ideal atmosphere for a recorded bedtime story. With the Recordable Book Buddy, loved ones can record themselves reading this magical tale, allowing children to hear a familiar, soothing voice whenever they need comfort—whether it’s at bedtime, naptime, or during moments of quiet reflection.

I was first drawn to this book by the cover. It was sitting up by the cash wrap and little Victor's eyes drew me in; so expressive and cute. Also, the watercolor style is unique and beautiful. I snapped it up without even reading it. I can usually tell if a picture book is going to be for me just by the cover. When I got it home and opened it up this morning I was not disappointed.

This book will always have a special place in my heart. Five, maybe six, years ago my Mom moved from the midwest across the country to New Jersey to help my Sister take care of my niece and nephew. To help her get her bearings, Mom and I would go exploring. One of those explorations took us to Mass MoCA in the Berkshires. Mass MoCA is the largest modern art museum in the country. It's housed in an old textile mill and is pretty astounding. What does all that have to do with a kid's book?
