Cat Sir Muffin watches over infant human Emma every night--"Sometimes her dreams can get a little wild." One night, mischievous "Dustrats" escape from under the crib and into the house, taking Emma's wild dreams with them. The text is stiff and the internal logic doesn't quite hold together, but surreal, Wiesner-esque illustrations portray the "real" world and many dream realms with exquisite detail.
