The Land of Reverse


Sam took a breath and shut his eyes tight.

He thought ten miles left, and ten miles right.

A New Way to Go to Sleep.

 

I read this to my young daughters at bedtime and they absolutely adored it! It made them laugh and they began chiming in whenever it came to the line "He thought ten miles left, and ten miles right". When we got done, my 8 yr old told me I needed to leave so they could shut their eyes and go play like the little boy. It was just really cute lol.

It kind of reminded me a bit of a mix of Willy Wonka and Dr. Seuss probably from the craziness and rhyming. I liked that it encourages the imagination.

In the end I believe my kids were the best source of judgement when it came to this book and they loved it so it's in the winner column for us.
