Summary: The Daydreamer
Review: After I read this book,I thought that the first chapter of this book is very boring.
The reason that I don't like this book is the pictures are not beautiful and there are only a few pictures.
The other reason is that, I think Peter likes sleeping very much because he always dream a dream and all the dream are very scaring, I don't like scary story, that's why I hate this book very much.

Summary: Review
Review: After reading this book----" The Daydreamer". I think that this book is a quiet boring book, although this book uses simple words, let us easy to understand. But i don't really enjoy this book very musch while i am reading it. It is because this book is not interesting, and the story plot is not good done. And again, i think a successful book must also has a beautiful good cover, and i really don't think the book cover of this book is attractive. That's why i don't think this book is an interesting book. But, i think maybe some of my classmates would like it.
However, for myself...i won't introduce this book as a good book to my classmates.

Summary: How do you get your child to read more?
Review: Buy him books like this! My 11 year-old son loved this book so much, he insisted that I read it, too. I'm glad I did; it's a lovely collection of stories about the vivid fantasy life of a young boy. Like many children, he often wishes to be other than he is - an adult, a baby, a hero. Our favorite story was the one in which the boy becomes his cat. This is a wonderful, thought-provoking book for children and adults, perfect for reading together.

Summary: Someone Who Dreams
Review: By Ronnisha, Grade 4 You should read The Daydreamer if you like to dream. IN the DAYDREAMER, Peter, the main character, always DREAMS. Many parts of the book made me laugh because they are very funny, like the part when Peter left his seven year old sister on the bus because he was DAYDREAMING about saving his sister, from something. I am not going to tell you what because that would give it away. I am going to tell you that this book is very good to read for someone who knows how DREAM! I recommend that you read this all night OK.

Summary: I recommend this book to anyone with a large imagination
Review: By Venyce, Grade 4, Washington DC You should read the Daydreamer by Ian McEwan !!! Many different kinds of people wold like this book. People who have big imaginations would like it, because they can daydream with Peter and become a cat or a baby or even a grown up. People who are hungry for adventure would like it, because Peter makes your parents vanish into thin air with vanishing cream and talks to dolls. Can you imagine that? People who can bring their imaginination far out would like this book because Peter becomes a baby and remembers what it was like. People who can be like a child with a big imagination would like this book. They would like it because they can become mountain climbers or defeat bullies with words. And everyone should read it because it was one of the greatest books in the world.

Summary: If you were ever ten...
Review: Children have vivid imaginations, and the weird fantasies of a child are some of the most striking that a person can have. Ian McEwan's "Daydreamer" is one of those rare novels that kids and adults will enoy, though for very different reasons. Ten-year-old Peter Fortune is supposedly a "difficult" boy, even though he's well-behaved and kind. That's only because he's a quiet loner -- he doesn't mind being around other people, but he prefers to withdraw into his vivid daydreams. When he and his sister fight and he receives his own room, an evil doll leads the other dolls to attack him. When an elderly cat is bullied by a younger cat, Peter becomes the cat for a day. He rubs vanishing cream on his family. He switches bodies with Kenneth, a wobbly toddler who tries to eat everything. He encounters a mystery burglar who has been robbing houses on his street. And he dreams of being an adult. McEwan's books are usually much darker than "Daydreamer," but this book doesn't seem lightweight or dumbed-down. It's less like a novel than a series of seven interconnected short stories, each focusing on Peter and how reality shapes his daydreams. McEwan's writing is dreamy but realistic, and often very funny (such as Peter's reaction when he finds himself in Kenneth's baby body). There's nothing objectionable in this book, and McEwan tinges the few frightening images with humor (when the dolls pull off one of Peter's limbs, he yells, "Hey, give those back!"). Kids will probably enjoy reading about Peter's daydreams, especially if they imagine such vivid things themselves. And adults may like getting a glimpse back in time of when they were able to dream that way. Peter has the purity of a child, knowing that a cat has a soul and feeling sorry for a bully he reduced to tears. If you ever had weird, now-seeming-ridiculous fantasies (or if you still do -- not everybody stops!), then this book will bring a smile to your face.
