About This Book
"Last Night I Dreamed a Circus" invites young readers into the vibrant, imaginative world of a girl's dream. The narrator isn't just watching the circus; she becomes every act, from a daring trapeze artist to a dancing dog and a powerful lion. The spare, lyrical text encourages children to explore their own creativity, while Robert Rahway Zakanitch's splendid watercolor portraits, set against dark backgrounds, bring the dream to life with vivid color and dramatic flair. It's a perfect book for fostering imagination and discussing the wonders of dreams. Ideal for ages 4-8 as a read-aloud, and 8-11 for independent reading.
