In this picture book classic, travel with young Walter on a
fantastical adventure as he journeys--by way of his bed--into a polluted
dreamscape world that wakes him up to our collective and individual
environmental responsibility.**
Walter does not appreciate the beauty of nature, or understand his role
in keeping the planet healthy . . . until a fantastic journey shows him
the tragic fate that could befall Earth if humans like him are not more
careful.
Chris Van Allsburg (The Polar Express) pairs pitch-perfect narrative
with his full-color pastel illustrations, rendering this picture book a
story that has stood the test of time.
"Two-time Caldecott Medalist Van Allsburg reaches a new pinnacle of
excellence in both illustration and storytelling in his latest work."
