"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. The artist juggles antic humor with a serious message--and never misses a beat."--"The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books." An IRA Children's Choice, A "Parent's Choice" Award for illustration.
