My favorites scenes were the splash page of the Sandman sleeping and the splash page where the sleeping Sandman has one shoe half off. Joyce makes excellent use of splash pages with many illustrations crossing over the fold. Beautiful, colorful illustrations carry the child reader from familiar territory covered in the first book to new undiscovered worlds as Sandy finds a new calling in life in his battle against evil.
This is because the story doesn’t cover as much material-the strength of picture books. The Man in the Moon saw his plight and wished him well, and since Sandy granted wishes, he let this wish come true.Īlthough The Man in the Moon seemed to lack focus, this second picture book doesn’t suffer from the same problems. A thousand sweet but greedy wishes greeted his crashing star, but one wish alone was for him. In a cosmic battle between good and evil, Sandy escaped certain death, but set himself on a crash trajectory towards Earth. Unfortunately, the Nightmare King and his Dream Pirates were determined to rid the universe of sweet dreams and Sandy simply had to go. Every time somebody wishes upon is star, he sends them a dream in return. It starts with Captain Sanderson Mansnoozie who pilots his own star around the universe. This book focuses on the origin of the maker of dreams and granter of wishes. The Sandman by William Joyce is the second picture book in his Guardians of Childhood series.
