As sleep starts, children are invited on board a trolley for a marvelous, nonsensical journey through the scenes that mirror all of life''s diverse elements, revealing animals, far-off places, a circus, games, toys, wind, rain, words, and wordplay. A poem accompanies the whimsical illustrations, perfectly capturing the sense of awe and excitement of childhood.
