We came to this book, looking forward very much to the picture book format again, expecting to be taken back to the world of "The Man in the Moon" and perhaps a small insight into the continuing storyline as we know the next chapterbook is titled after the Sandman as well.įirst, our disappointment came in that this story is very much a stand-alone. We are reading all the books in order as they are published and *highly* enjoying this series: the writing, the world-building, the plot and the illustrations. The picture books are called "The Guardians of Childhood" while the chapter books are called "The Guardians". It is made up of picture books and chapter books which in the long run are related to each other, same characters, but supposedly could be read apart from one another. For those not sure how this series works.

Well, I feel a bit guilty not giving this book a 5* rating but I must be honest, we were somewhat disappointed.
