Illustrated by
Susan Gaber.
Lying down to rest, lazy Pierre wakes to find a circus has set up around him while he slept. Thinking that he must be dreaming, he believes he can do anything, from taming a charging lion to dancing on a tightrope to standing on the back of a galloping horse. Armstrong's storytelling is delightfully understated and enhanced by Gaber's beautifully composed, richly detailed paintings.
