What is this book?

[juneybean]

I'm pretty sure it's a children's book, I haven't done much reading lately other than at work (I'm a nanny) so it must be a children's book.

So it's about a town with a boy as the main character I think (there might be a girl as well), where a man comes and steals dreams then they (a load of men) sell them back to the people in boxes.

I swear I only read it two weeks ago but my main charges didn't have a clue what I was talking about!

It was only a thin book, with lots of pictures....

Was it a government manifesto?

Well I'm starting to wonder if I should write it myself... but I swear it was a children's book! The men were very pointy

Roald Dahl's BFG?

the city of lost children?

Annoyingly it was whilst listening to BFG that I recalled it :(

It was something like dream collectors or thieves but so many books with those sort of names.

It was only a short picture book
