JAMIE'S DREAM REVIEW

Jamie's Dream

by Susan Berger and Christopher Corbin

Jamie’s Dream, by Susan Berger and her son Christopher Corbin, is illustrated by Kim Sponaugle. It’s a perfectly delightful children’s picture book. The message is uplifting, the prose is fun and repetitive, which kids enjoy as much as rhyming books. The artwork is whimsical and conveys the fun, happy, magical mood of this book.

The story begins with Jamie waking up from a great dream and smelling French toast. He wants to find a way to share his dream with his mother. He puts on his lucky purple socks and knows he’s going to have a good day. His day continues to be good through school with a gold star. While walking home after school, he meets a talking unicorn who takes him on his quest to buy a dream for his mother. Can Jamie really buy a dream? You’ll have to get the book and then you’ll find out, like Jamie, “Seeing is believing and believing is seeing.”

I highly recommend this sweet book to children ages 5 to 8. It’s a feel good story that children will enjoy reading with their mothers. It shows a child’s love for his mother and a mother’s love for her child. It’s a good way for parents and teachers to show children that having a positive attitude, sharing special moments, and caring for others returns as much to the giver as to the receiver.
