Summary
Details

""The difference between elephant and elegant is only three letters, and a lot of imagination.""Step into a world where dreams take flight! I Dreamt I Was is a whimsical collection of children's poetry by Glenn Moore, featuring vibrant illustrations inspired by Katie Reitemeyer. Originally written as a gift for his own children and grandchildren, this book is a celebration of family, creativity, and the power of a child's imagination.

A Journey Through the Animal KingdomEach poem begins with the magic words ""I dreamt I was,"" transporting young readers into the lives of charming characters with big personalities:

-The Elegant Elephant: Learn why being ""elegant"" is much better than just being ""fat"" as this proud pachyderm leads the king's parade.

-The Lazy Moose: A humorous tale of a moose who gets his head caught in a noose and must find his voice to be set free.

-The Crocodile with the Cutest Smile: He has the sharpest teeth and a strong tail, but it's his playful spirit (and monkey-teasing!) that kids will love.

-The Daring Tiny Bird: A small but bold bird of red and gold who sings with all his might, teaching us that even the smallest voices have a song to share.

-The Vaudeville Polar Bear: A beautiful, nine-foot-tall bear who becomes the star of a grand show.

-The Tail-Tucking Whale: A sweet baby whale who discovers a clever way to stay comforted while swimming in circles.

Why Parents and Kids Love This Book

-Encourages Imagination: Each page invites children to wonder: What would I do if I were a king of beasts or a chimpanzee in a banana tree?

-A Heartfelt Legacy: With a touching dedication to Michelle, Fritz, Billy, Katie, and Jenny, this book feels like a warm hug from ""Dad"" and ""Grandpa.""

-Beautiful Art: The soft, colorful illustrations bring every ""daring feat"" to life, making it a visual treat for early readers.
