Rendition During Books The Sandman: The Story of Sanderson Mansnoozie (Guardians of Childhood #2)
The Man in the Moon has a problem.Most nights, he beams down at the children of Earth, providing them with an inextinguishable nightlight that keeps nightmares at bay. But what happens when it's foggy or cloudy? When the moon is less than full and bright? Who will keep the children safe at night?
He needs a helper! And he's spied just the fellow: a sleepy little guy named Sanderson Mansnoozie (Sandy, for short), who might be perfect...if only the Man in the Moon can get him to wake up.

This review applies to the other two in Joyce's series about the mythical guardians of the best parts of childhood: dreams, adventure, hope, sharing, love. Everything is so new and whimsical and epic and powerful as a child. Joyce perfectly captures that in his detailed colorful illustrations. My personal fave is His Nocturnal Magnificence, Sanderson Mansnoozie, Sandman the First, Lord High Protector of Sleep and Dreams. You deserve all your titles, my sweet dude. I want your island, and yourI love the art in these books more than the story... :/ But hopefully I'll enjoy the story more when I read the chapter books.
Ever since I first saw the movie The Guardians I was enthralled by the story and ideas behind it. A popular children's book in Germany, Peterchen's Mondfahrt is quite similar with ideas about dreams and guiding children through the dark. Naturally, that allures to all of us.This book is the (shortened) story of Sanderson Mansnoozie who will become The Sandman. The three books of this that are out, are more picture books and therefore focus on the art rather than the full story. However, that
A Wish Always Begins with a DreamAfter reading The Sandman, I had wished that I had started with the first book in the Guardians of Childhood series The Man in the Moon. This book is for advancing readers, not suggested for 3 and 4 year olds like so many of the childrens books currently on the market. Combining myth, fantasy and folklore, William Joyce tells a tale of how the Man in the Moon needs help on the evenings where his visibility is low. He needs a guardian to help keep children safe
Copyright:2012Number of Pages: UnknownBook Format: HardcoverReading Level: Grades 3-5Genre: Fantasy Picture BookLit. Requirement: Picture #3Summary:Who looks after children in the night giving away good dreams? The Sandman does, in this book the origin of the Sandman is told. Who he was before he was a guardian and what he does and why. Response:I love this book. William Joyce is a fantastic author and his books get better and better. I love the pictures of this book and the writing is
I really want to love William Joyce's stories of the Guardians of Childhood, but the narratives always seem to be missing that crucial something which would make the stories magic. Joyce's premise is an excellent start, and the Sandman's story is extremely promising, but his conflict with the King of Nightmares just doesn't jive. The potential coflict between these two characters is one that has been explored successfully by many other authors, so Joyce's riff essentially falls short of the mark
Cute, cute, cute. A lovely bedtime story for childlings. Joyce's world he's created is imaginative and fun to read about, child or not. He creates some wonderful characters that feel alive with the use of beautiful illustrations and some deft writing. Sandy is one of my favorites. He's sweet and quite adorable in the illustrations. He needs to sleep, and sleep a lot, in order to use his power. If there was a female Sandy, I'd like to think that'd be me.
