The Scariest Dream Ever — Maria T. DiVencenzo

Featuring playful, imaginative artwork, this whimsical picture book tells the story of a stinky spider, a grouchy goblin, a thundering T-Rex, and their friends, as they cause midnight mayhem for a youngster trying to sleep -- and his mother whom he continually awakens. Subtle and relatable, this story delivers an uplifting message about the power of imagination and how even the darkest fears can be faced with a little ingenuity and good humor. While everyone has been rattled by scary dreams at one time or another, the characters here show how these nighttime imaginings can become an opportunity to tap into one's creativity and turn creepy situations into a world of fun.
