I would love to listen to that one with kids. Describing dream delivery would seem so magical to kids. <br /><br />Riv - The October Country is another great collection of his!<br /> <br />Brooke - She's written some great books! Number the Stars was a favorite of mine when I was a kid. <br /><br />Belle Wong - He is so fantastic. I loved learning more about his when I visited the Center for Ray Bradbury Studies in October.
