Illus. in full color. "Only Burningham could make an ecological fable so
much fun. A boy goes to bed and dreams that he and his stuffed dog, now a
railroad engineer, are speeding through the countryside playing games and
picking up endangered animals. Spacious drawings contrasted with textured
landscape paintings create a striking effect as the artist juggles antic humor
with a serious message--and never misses a beat."-- "Bulletin, Center for
Children's Books.
