The children were ohhhing and ahhhing about the "dreams" as well as the beautiful illustrations. They were all intrigued. Even the boys were not disappointed. When I finished reading, the children were all asking to be the first to borrow the book from the school's library. Beautifully written, wonderously illustrated, this is a great book for girls of all ages.....It breakdowns the stereotypes of what a girl can't do...a perfect Christmas present for my 3 nieces in San Francisco! I LOVE this book!! Got it as a gift and now have given away 3 myself (there's a boy version too, haven't read it though). Great illustrations and an even better message. You'll love reading this to a little girl!!
