  Anton's Last Dream by Edwin Baird - A brief tale of the dismal success of a scientist's experiment. 
  Anything that man can dream, man can do. So believed Anton Slezak, the chemist. 
  Man had dreamed of flying, Anton would argue, and now he flies across the seven seas. He had dreamed of annihilating distance, and today he sends his voice round the world with the speed of light. He had dreamed of penetrating the mysteries of the universe, and now he sees trillions of miles into space. 
  So argued Anton, the chemist. 
  Anton had dreamed many dreams, and some had vanished mistily and some had become reality. But none was too fantastic for Anton's laboratory tests. 
  Upon the chemist in his laboratory, Anton often said, rested the future development of mankind. And the future, Anton promised, would outshine the present as the present outshines the past. 
  No poor dreamer was Anton. His dreams had brought him great riches. For he had turned his genius to practical matters, and, working miracles in his laboratory, had discovered ways of converting waste into things of commercial value—cornstalks into cloth, weeds into paper, coal soot into lacquer—and from these and other such discoveries Anton had derived much wealth. 
  He had bought a magnificent home. He had married a young and lovely woman. He had a nephew who idolized him; and he had many friends and admirers and loyal assistants, and a truly beautiful wife, who, as anybody could plainly see, loved him devotedly. He had, indeed, one might have said, everything worth living for. 
  And now, at the age of fifty-two, he seemed on the threshold of still greater achievements. 
  At the moment, however, Anton was employed in developing a dream, the fulfilment of which could have no practical value whatever.

The Child will be included on a journey to this imaginary place that is made real due to a myth. The myth is that using the word "okay" frequently to describe thoughts and feelings is exceedingly appropriate. This is a opportunity for teaching through entertainment on numerous levels. The message is to explore words that accurately portray inner emotions to the outer environment.The simple words take on new meaning as the illustrations pair perfectly with their presentation. The Child will be visually stimulated by the vectors chosen to demonstrate this imaginary place that is actually quite real in daily vocabulary. The images will leap off the page to capture and keep the Child's attention.Children are naturally drawn to stories of journey and adventure. This is a practical approach to both. The ability to pair a subject like vocabulary with emotions is a theme the author embraces. This is a launchpad for discussions and conversations about discernment, honestly, and authenticity.It is in Early Childhood that futures are being constructed. "The K-OH!" is a tool in a Caregiver's toolbox to assist with that healthy formation. A pretend journey that leads to enlightenment and understanding is wonderful opportunity for Children's literature to shine.
