This book is well-designed as a bedtime story. The illustrations are soft and full of dark, soothing colors. The text is poetical, full of rhyme and repetition. Each two-page spread describes what a different animal dreams of, always in sets of three, and always ending with a dream that includes the listener. In the end the reader encourages the listener to dream of what animals do and when they awake to remember those sweet animals are dreaming of him/her too.
