What is Engelbert Sneem and his dream vacuum cleaner about?
Engelbert Sneem is a particularly nasty dream thief who lives in a gloomy dungeon and uses his peculiar vacuum cleaner to suck up children’s dreams while they sleep. He gathers them greedily, leaving misery behind wherever he goes. But Engelbert’s wicked plan takes an unexpected turn when the machine begins to work against him. Soon, the meanest creature in the land must face a frightening—and rather funny—nightmare of his own.
