Description
Peter Fortune is a daydreamer. He's a quiet ten year old who can't help himself from dropping out of reality and into the amazing world of his vivid imagination. His daydreams are fantastic and fascinating - only in the bizarre and disturbing world of dreams can he swap bodies with the family cat and his baby cousin, Kenneth, or wipe out his entire family with vanishing cream.
Illustrated by Anthony Browne, The Daydreamer takes the reader out of reality and into the dream world of 10 year old Peter Fortune.

Reviews
"A brilliant book - wonderful" TES "A classic" Financial Times "Exhilarating - briliant" Independent "Clear and vivid prose ... Read these aloud to your children and be unsettled by them" -- Katie Law Evening Standard "This is a book that could be read at several levels. The dreams can be taken at face-value, but they also reveal themes that more astute readers might recognise ... A good read" Writeaway!
