the book of the sandman and the alphabet of sleep

This book like all of his books is delightful...it is a really sweet story and not like the trash (yes I said trash) that some childrens' books are today. If I had a child I would want this one in his library as a good decent book..

The Best bedtime story

I first ran across this book in a discount bin at the local bookstore. The exquisite illustrations are what caught my eye. Every page is illustrated with some of the most beautiful artwork I have ever seen. It inspires your love of fanstasy and at the same time takes you back to a time when you used to believe in the sandman. I have used this wonderfully captivating book to interest my own son in literature and art while simultaneously helping him learn his alphabet. This is the book that began my love for Poortvliet's work. This is a must have for any lover of the Fanstasy.
