This is all a dream in this story. We see a girl in her dreams with a lion as a companion. She goes on adventures. The text is a simple rhyme. By the end of the book, the girl knows she is about to wake up and we she her make her way back to her bed before she wakes.
It’s a lovely exploration of what happens in our dreams. The artwork and watercolors were beautiful here and I love the rhymes. This is a mood, more for the imagination, the creative side of the brain. Something happens over there.
The nephew read this with me. He enjoyed seeing the lion on the pages and when the girl was a seal with the giant whale. It doesn’t have real action, but things happen and somehow this didn’t bore him enough to call it boring. He thought it was good. He gave it 3 stars.

It's a simple story, but the artwork is nothing less than beautiful.

A young girl's vivid, enchanting dreams are shown in muted, magical collages-style illustrations.

A beautifully illustrated bedtime-dream story with rhyming couplets.
I truly adore the illustrations in this book as well as the soft, dream-like sentiments. UNfortunately, the narrative felt forced--perhaps a translation? and bored me rather than transported me. But it is a well-designed and executed picturebook, but the marriage of excellent illustrations and lackluster narrative really detracted from the possible "wow" of this title.
