The tranquil cadences of the elegant prose cast a hypnotic spell (""The whirling planets spin and hum/ And rock the astronauts to sleep"") coupled with the luminous pastels, the result is magical.
In hushed, poetic phrases, Standiford (The Bravest Dog Ever: The Story of Balto) muses on what a trio of astronauts might see in their dreams (""Are they dreaming of the stars,/ Monstrous fires in blackest ink/ Clustered into galaxies?""), settling finally on visions of their childhoods on earth-a day at the beach, a walk in the woods, a snack by the fire as snow falls outside the window. Glowing planets suspended against the dark night skies of deep space set the stage for this dreamy picture book.
