Dream Away by Julie Durango & Katie Belle Trupiano-OPTIONAL

Durango, Julia.  Trupiano, Katie Belle.  Goldstrom, Robert.  Dream Away, 32 pgs.  Simon & Schuster, 2011.  $16.99.  Inside cover: “Dream away, dream away, sleepyhead, love.  Set sail for the ocean of stars up above. You be the captain and I'll be your mate. We'll journey together, the heavens await. From Julia Durango and Katie Belle Trupiano comes this lovely lyrical lullaby that weaves dreams into real life and real life into dreams.  Come float away through the deep blue sky in an old paper boat and see that possibilities the universe has in story for you." This is a great bedtime story.  We enjoyed the illustrations and the repetition of the “dream away” lullaby. The illustrations are inviting and beautiful.   Parents will cherish this great story but I don’t see an application to the classroom.  Pre-K.  EL (K-3). OPTIONAL.  Reviewer:
