Illustrated by
Donald Saaf.
With the exception of the nighttime hunters (owl, fox, and snake), everyone on Sigmund's farm has sweet dreams. Horses dream of galloping on the sea; ducks dream of riding bikes through the sky; "children dream of making noise, / Of big, red berries and birthday toys." The collage illustrations have an appropriately surreal quality, but there is a disjointed feel to the rhyming text.
