When Cats Dream

by Dav Pilkey · 1992

+ Want to read

When cats are awake, the world stays the same—predictable. Food and toys are in their places, and soft, warm laps await. But when cats go to sleep, anything can happen—and does. Their two-tone world blooms into extravagant color. The fishbowl becomes an ocean, and they can dance on the heads of sleeping dogs and never be afraid in this imaginative rhapsody. Full color.
