School Library Journal Review

K-Gr 1-A first-grade class takes a field trip to a museum and learns about Doctor King. Large font and phrase repetition build fluency and word recognition. Appealing cartoon illustrations in a soothing palette enhance the text. Many are on full spreads, with students envisioning their dreams as they put them down on paper. This book is a good choice for teachers looking to illustrate the "I have a dream-" concept via fiction rather than nonfiction.-Colleen D.

Horn Book Review

While learning about Martin Luther King Jr., Mrs. Connor's first graders illustrate their own dreams to make the world a better place: no more fighting, a clean planet, everyone having fun. This makes for a very simple and age-appropriate introduction to Martin Luther King Jr. Day (though no substantial details about MLK are provided). Gordon's warm cartoons show the kids' great aspirations. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted. All rights reserved.
