* * *
At night, all the animals return to their homes to sleep.
Birds dream in their nests . . .
. . . polar bears snore inside their ice caves . . .
. . . and children snuggle under the covers of their beds.
Everything is in order.
Unless, of course, it isn’t. Sometimes the world — or the book — gets turned upside down. And then things aren’t quite as simple.
Sometimes the elephant dreams in the bird’s nest . . .
. . . and the polar bear snores in the doghouse . . .
. . . and children sleep on clouds and dream of ice cream.
