Climb aboard the Dream Submarine and set your course for an eveningtide lullaby in this illustrated, illuminating journey of maritime enchantment.
Glide through the ocean with a young child in her cozy little submarine. See how marine animals brush their teeth, put on pajamas (by shifting colors to better blend in), and tuck themselves into sponge beds. Dive between towers of slumbering whales and see bioluminescent creatures paint galaxies in the abyss, then make a wish upon a sea star and let the Dream Submarine whisk you away. Author Charlotte Gunnufson gently guides readers to sleep as she introduces them to a host of mesmerizing sea creatures, while Cleonique Hilsacas colorful illustrations transform underwater environs into an imaginative dreamscape. Back matter features a map of the Dream Submarines journey, a deeper dive into the oceans zones and animals, and resources for further exploration.
Charlotte Gunnufson is a language arts teacher turned author. Her books include Halloween Hustle, illustrated by Kevan Atteberry, and Prince and Pirate, illustrated by Mike Lowery.
