** “The Land of Pleasant Dreams, Vol. 5: The Boy Who Wanted the Moon.” Hi-Tops. $12.95.
The newest in a series of sleepy stories and songs for very young children, using stringed puppetry. The cozy, quilted fantasy setting is charming, but most of the marionettes are smilingly innocuous and the moralistic tales are on the sugary side. Information: (213) 453-7929.
