The story is lovely, about a boy named Benjamin who travels to the Land of Nod in a wooden boat when he falls asleep, only to find that scary 'bugaboo' monsters have stolen the golden bird from the Land of Nod's light house that guides 'sleeping souls through the storms of nightmares to dreams of gold'. Benjamin must face his fears and bravely rescue the bird so all little children can dream without fear.
If the story isn't magical enough, the artwork is just mind blowing, you can even follow Benjamin's journey on a map inside the covers.
A must read, over and over again. Now on Poppet in the Post along with 3 other great books for young children.
