SIX REASONS TO CHOOSE THE SANDMAN 1. Forty-six stories--meant to be read to young children--ages 3 and up. 2. Line drawings by Larry Omoto. 3. Each tale short and sweet with enough humor and rhyme to spare the parent or teacher from boredom. 4. Inducement for quiet at bedtime or in the classroom. 5. Triumph of virtue over vice. A bit of moral in every story. 6. Sparks the imagination. The child creates the character and action.
