Joyce, William. The Sandman, PICTURE BOOK. Atheneum Books for Young Readers, 2012.
$17.99. Content: G.
The Man in the Moon enlists the Sandman’s help to keep
children everywhere safe from nightmares.
The Sandman uses his power to grant wishes to become one of the
illustrious Guardians of Childhood.
The true stars of this book are the illustrations. Each is magnificently colored and
detailed. The story supports the
illustrations well, with the only criticism being that it felt a bit
lengthy. It provides a fun
explanation to the concept of “The Sandman” and is written well enough that it
sounds like a kind of legend.
