Ben's Dream


There is not a lot of text in this Van Allsburg story, but it is clever. When the threat of rain cancels the ball game, Ben decides he will go home and study for his landmarks test. The rain lulled him to sleep where he dreams about all the landmarks, only they are all half way under water. They are all flooded!


He is awakened by his friend Margaret who has come back to get that game going. She tells him about her strange dream of floating past all those landmarks. Then there is a surprise twist I do not want to spoil. But it made me go back.
