Advance Praise
“Parents around the world have been creating wondrous bedtime stories and songs for their children for centuries… those stories and songs fade away like dreams as kids get older and tuck themselves in at night. Dreamland With Mommy reawakens memories of the crazy, cozy homespun bedtime stories many of us heard from our own parents and elder siblings. It provides children with a new way of looking creatively at the world, while also providing adult readers with the inspiration to keep the tradition of storytelling alive.” — Dawud Wharnsby
“Dreamland with Mommy by Dana Salim is a wonderful book ideal for bedtime. I picked up the book for my three year old and it is much cherished by myself and my son. Combined with stunning illustration by Pavel Goldaev, it takes us on a magical journey to dreamland where we get to meet elephants, singing birds and a pirate on a boat on wheels!”— S. Jaleel
“My daughter and I love reading this book together! The story is exciting, fun and easy to read. My daughter loves the pictures in this book and stops to talk about everything she sees on the pages. It's a great book that will keep your child engaged the whole time.” – Ashley Kline

This book shows an interesting way to engage a child. Instead of reading a bedtime story, the mom asks the kid to close his eyes and imagine the scenes as she says them. As someone who isn't very much familiar with Islam, it was great to see the book ending with a Quran verse. Would love to see more such books from the author.

It's bedtime for little Yousef. Instead of reading him a story she decides to play a game. The game is called Imagination Time Travel. Mommy start Yousef on his journey by starting a tale then it is up to him to complete his Imagination Travel. Along the way Yousef lands in a large strawberry pie, Elephants show him down with their long trunks. We meet Gerard a wacky pirate who gives Yousef a riddle to solve. And more.
This is a fun book to read the kids really enjoyed the words but they loved the illustrations. They pointed at things in the pictures, asked questions and mad their own comments. For such a short story it took us a while to read. After reading it they set down with the book and looked at it again.
I received this book from the Author or Publisher via Netgalley.com to read and review.

This wonderful story encourages imagination and adventure, and it is brought to life with Yousuf and his mom.

Imagination Time Travel: Mom directs her little son’s dreaming, but lets him choose the details, such as diving into a giant cherry pie and getting showered by elephants. The main point is solving a riddle, which from the end notes appears to be from the Koran. Not sure how many kids would have been able to solve it, or adults, for that matter.
Sometimes it rhymes, but not always.
3.5 pushed up to 4/5
