Another new Author for me. Love the idea of the book and beautiful illustrations. Reading was a nightly ritual at bedtime when my kids were younger. It relaxed them after their long days and mine times out of ten they were asleep before the story ended. 🙂
I would love to win this to send to my daughter in law and grandson. Reading is such an important part of growing up and letting your imagination take you into what you are reading.
I would like this for my daughter. This looks like a cute book to read before going to bed.
I would love to win this for my great-nieces and nephews when they spend the night with me…their favorite great aunt, of course. 😊💝
A gentle read before bedtime.
I love the concept of this book. It would certainly become a favorite of our grandsons’. Thanks for the opportunity to win this awesome giveaway!
“Please tell us why you are excited to win this giveaway. Or share your bedtime reading routine with us.” This looks like a charmingly illustrated, interesting book!
A wonderful book which would be perfect for my grandsons and granddaughters who love reading and the bedtime routine.
I am excited because I want to give this book to family members as a christmas gift.
My boys have loved reading since they were practically born.. Our nightly routine is they read to me, instead of reading to them.
I believe the book makes for a great bedtime read!
This is a special book.

The book looks beautiful. Our little ones have nightmares and we always look for bright, happy books for bedtime. Thank you.
Our First Grader loves to read books out loud every night before sleep time. She is getting better and better with practice. She has discovered the joy of reading!
would love rhis, My bestfriend took in her nephew who is the same age as her son, unfortunately his tablet was broken, so both boys have to share one. they love to read. it would be great if each boy had to their own tablet, sometimes they want to read differant books and it would allow my friend and her husband to each read books to the boys in there own rooms at bedtime! thanks for the chance!
i love this fir kids i watch
I always read to my daughters at bedtime when they were growing up. Now quite often I get the chance to do the same with my grandson.
I would love to win for my daughter.
I would love to win this because it sounds like it would be a great book to read with my grandchildren. I think they would really enjoy it!
my son is a book worm!!
I have a friend who is expecting a little girl and this would make such a wonderful gift for her. As for the Kindles–I volunteer in an elementary school library which has only a check out computer. Having two Kindles for her students would make that librarian ecstatic!
I’m excited for this giveaway. My son and I would love to add it to bedtime book section.
We are currently reading a chapter a night from the first Harry Potter book! My daughter recently watched the first movie and loved it!
I’m excited to win this book for my nephew. I love that it is written in rhyme and the illustrations look great.
I would like to win this book to add to the rotation of books read before bed.
im excited my son would love this
This looks great! At night we listen to books read on the Calm app
My granddaughter Violet has a book every bedtime so this would be fantastic for her!💖
This would be an amazing win to share with my niece for her birthday!
Excited about this giveaway because it would be a great read to add to our library!
Excited, we enjoy reading before bedtime. My youngsters would love this.
My kids and I are avid readers. We would love to add this book to our night time stories.
I would love to have a tablet. The book sounds adorable.
I’d love to win this for my daughter! She just had her third child! A new Kindle would give her some enjoyable down time! Thank you!!!!
I love books and love passing on my enjoyment of books to my granddaughter.
We just adopted a little girl while serving overseas, we fell in love the first time we saw her. She’s in first grade and just starting to read! What an exciting time, she’s a bit behind her classmates since she didn’t get to go to preschool and just learned how to speak English, so reading to her has been HUGELY important. Every night she reads a story to mommy, then daddy comes in and reads her one. Reading has taught her English in lightening fast time and has helped her work toward catching up to her peers.
This looks like a wonderful book to share with my grand children. We , as a family, love to read together, share our books, and are always looking for more to add to our bookshelves. Thanx for the chance.
I think that this story would be an interesting read for my child and a great addition to our book collection for night-time reading.
our reading routine has unfortunately died
I love books with an encouraging message. Bravo.
This book is beautiful! I still read everyday even if I feel terrible (Just had my third baby 3 months ago, 3 under 5!) My 4.5 year old and 22 month old are very into reading, mommy now also has certain voices I need to make while reading or else the children are displeased – haha! Vivid books with beautiful art are a favorite, this would be great to add into bed time!
Looking forward to reading.
I would love to share this with my granddaughter. She loves to read before bed and this looks perfect.
I would love to win this giveaway for my daughters. We share our dreams whenever we have them.
My granddaughter is an avid reader and we love to read together, snuggled in my big rocker recliner until one of us is snoring. She loves to draw what she dreams so this would be such a great book for us to discuss and enjoy together.
We usually read a story before bed.
What an amazing giveaway for us, as they are always reading and love new books, plus my device is not their device, so this way they could have their own.
We read a few chapters of a book every night and vary the different kinds of books throughout the week
I will give this to my daughter. She can use this package for her students. This is her 2nd year teaching 1st grade at Beverly Mathis.
We brush our teeth, get into our jammies and read before lights out.
What is not to love about a book that encourages calm and creativity, relaxation and imagination? I think this is a children’s book in disguise as adults can learn also from this book. What Wonders Do You See … When You Dream? is much more than a book and every family should get a copy.
I am excited to win this awesome giveaway because the prizes are amazing!

I am excited about this Contest because you even think of the smaller kids and they seem to be getting younger all the time
I’m of the book in the bath, then bed variety!
This book looks wonderful!! Kyla and Kamyle would adore it. They are 8 and 5.
I would really love to win this giveaway for my son, he is in a special group after school where they have a book club, most of the children already have either a Kindle or some sort of device, this really would make his school year!
Thanks for this chance 🤞🏾
A wonderful part of an evening routine is reading a book or books. That is true for children as well as adults.
When my daughter was little I would read a book every evening before bed, than as she grew up she would read me a book and than later on she would enjoy reading a book it seemed like all the time. She did and still does love to read!!!
My 6 year old daughter loves to read books with me ever since she was a baby. She couldn’t walk until she was 2 1/2 years old, so I would just sit with her and read book after book with her. Now, she loves reading books to her 4 year old sister every night before we go to bed. I have been really wanting a Fire tablet for them, so I am so excited about this giveaway and hope that I win for them. 🙂
