Rated by buyers -
Sonny's Dream not only teaches children about bear activity in Alaska but also serves as a metaphor for growing up, gaining independence, and trusting one's instinct. Drawn in a soft soothing style she presents nature as vibrant and uncontaminated. The anthropomorphic qualities given to the bears does not hinder their feral nature providing children a lesson in empowerment.

Sonny's Dream
By Noriko Senshu
One is beguiled by the cover's artwork showing a Mama Grizzly holding her baby tightly in her arms. Sonny, her cub, young, snuggly and asleep suddenly he has a bad dream. In it, red, monster fish come swimming directly towards him with their menacing teeth showing. Scared, he issues a huge roar in his sleep that disburses the fish and wakes him up to find that the long winter is over and spring has arrived. Sonny's Mother spends the coming months teaching Sonny how to hunt squirrels and to fish for salmon. He becomes proficient at both and as the summer ends his Mother says that to be an adult grizzly he has to make one decision. While he is frolicking, she disappears leaving him alone. Sonny wonders what big decision he has to make? He finds a cave for the winter and settles down for a long sleep. The blue monster fish return in a terrifyingly bad dream. Again his roar chased them away and when he awoke it was spring again. He hunted squirrel and fished for salmon and with a full belly, he dozed off for an afternoon nap. The blue monster fish quickly returned in his dream, but now, all grown up, Sonny wasn't afraid. He ate them! A marvelous story for preschoolers on how to overcome their bad dreams told simply and with beautiful illustrations.

Sonny's Dream
Sonny is a young grizzly bear with a scary dream. When he awakens in the spring, his mother teaches him how to hunt for food - which includes those red, monster salmon fish he remembers from his dreams! While Sonny learns many things, as summer ends, his mother advises that a big lesson is coming his way. Slumbering deep inside his winter den, Sonny once again encounters the monster fish. Drawing upon his mother's teachings and his own strength, Sonny learns how to move past his fears, marching out into the world that spring to become "a master fisher in the Land of the Midnight Sun." This is a lovely story with bright, dreamy illustrations by Anchorage author and illustrator Noriko Senshu. Dedicated to "all friends who have bad dreams," both children and parents will enjoy the gentle wisdom of Sonny's tale.
