The Sandman - Softcover

This charming story is perfectly suited for reading at bedtime and best geared to readers aged 7 and older. Young readers will enjoy reading the story on their own but its comedic styling also makes it fun to read aloud. It is a dangerously exciting story but has a soothing end. The rhythm of the words and the playful tone of the story help to put bedtime fears to rest. --The Children s Book Review

What happens when a little boy can't get to sleep and discovers the astonishing reason why? Author Andrew McLeish answers this question and more in The Sandman, an enchanting story of adventure, imagination, shocking cowardice, and giant underpants. By turns comic, fantastical, monstrous, and exceedingly silly, and illustrated by the author, The Sandman is a novel that will appeal to all young readers with a sense of humor. A book that no child who hates alarm clocks should be without.
