The Princess of Slumberland awaits her new playmate, but
there is some confusion of just who it may be. An adviser named Snitikus enters
with the name James Nemo Summerton. Believing he is the one, the King sends a
servant named Popcorn to find James and bring him to Slumberland. James isn’t
interested in being a playmate for the Princess and wakes up. The task is then
assigned to Bon-Bon, the Candy Kid. Over the course of several nights, James
dreams of Bon-Bon being in trouble. Will Nemo save him and enter Slumberland,
or somehow move on?
I am not familiar with the story of Little Nemo, but it’s
ok because it’s not necessary. Eric Shanower crafts a magical little tale here.
Gabriel Rodriguez’s artwork is great as always; but combined with Nelson Daniel’s
colors it’s nothing less than majestic.
This is a wonderful all-ages book that can’t be recommended enough.
