The Blue Forest is a collection of seven highly imaginative bedtime stories one story for each night of the week, and each story featuring one of seven colors. The stories, set in a magical blue forest, tell of mysterious nighttime events and relationships involving humans and animals and nature.In the first story, a small girl, wearing a dress as white as the stars and embroidered with fine golden thread, walks a path through the forest of blue trees. While making her way through the silent woods, she discovers a casket of jewels from which she selects a silver ring. As she places it on her finger it twinkles in unison with a star, which just at that moment peers through the foliage of a nearby tree. In the last story an old woman tends a garden where the flowers unfold at nightfall to greet the stars. While the old woman sings and plants blue seedlings, a pink butterfly alights on her head. When she turns back to the garden path to her house, the pink butterfly flutters off into the dark woods, arriving at a simple hut where a girl in a white dress with golden embroidery sleeps. The seventh story thus joins the tales into a circle.Other characters in The Blue Forest include: a red bird whose mellifluous song inspires dreams, a boy who is led by a blue bird to a murky pond where an enormous golden flower blossoms before his eyes, an astrologer who paints stars from his purple tower, a fish family that transports raindrop-jewels to a secret subterranean sea cave, a mother and baby possum who chance on a mysterious emerald-green sanctuary while seeking refuge from a sudden storm.The tales of The Blue Forest have an innovative and artistic character that explores the genre of bedtime stories in a new way. They were conceived and composed as bedtime stories in the most emphatic sense: their vivid painterly depictions, enigmatic occurrences, and archetypal imagery make the tales resemble the non-discursive and ethereal dreamscape of sleep. The stories enliven the imagination in a way that leads the reader and listener seamlessly from the clear outlines of the waking world into the elusive realm of dreams.The luminous illustrations by Stephanie Young and Tim Smith beautifully serve the soothing and magical qualities of the stories.

From School Library Journal Gr 3–5—While meant to be a compendium of bedtime stories, these seven tales serve more as a loosely connected collection of vignettes about the nightly occurrences in an enchanted blue forest. Told using highly descriptive, robust, and stylized language, each vignette complements the accompanying illustration beautifully and tells a short yet detailed story. Rich vocabulary such as mellifluous and traversed pepper the narratives. The dreamlike quality of the illustrations suits the surreal tone of the text, though younger children may have difficulty following the esoteric plot. While this title may struggle as a bedtime favorite, it might be better suited for a study of literary devices such as theme, mood, and tone. VERDICT An additional purchase; for libraries with a demand for stylized and poetic short stories.—Brittany Staszak, St. Charles Public Library, IL
Review At bedtime, a certain type of child sometimes asks 'for a dream;' which is to say, he wants his parents to suggest interesting, exotic images that will help him get started on dreams of his own. This is the child who will most enjoy Luke Fischer's The Blue Forest,a mesmeric collection of seven stories that are meant to spark the imagination of a child who is subsiding into sleep. Each tale is notably rich with the names of colors: a red bird holds a turquoise twig; a purple tower has blue stained-glass windows; a sky is layered with the colors of rose-quartz, amethyst and sapphire. Mysterious jewel-hued illustrations by Stephanie Young and Tim Smith reinforce the dreamlike quality of these short tales, which ideally should be read aloud softly, one each evening, just before lights out. --The Wall Street Journal

These inner pictures are complemented by the depth of the beautiful art work throughout the book By anthony downs As a teacher I experienced that at rest time each story can transport the child into a calm, magical world created through a rich poetic language that engenders inner imaginative pictures within the child. These inner pictures are complemented by the depth of the beautiful art work throughout the book.

Not only illustrations, of which there are few, but in the incredibly descriptive language that the author uses to paint wonderfully imaginative stories across a sleepy child's mind. Not surprisingly the author is an accomplished poet. My children love it. At first they where confused at what seems like a lack of definitive endings to the stories but once I explained that they were meant to stimulate their imaginations and plant a seed for a dream they really got into laying quietly and letting the dream come in.
