My Bed Is An Air Balloon

Binding: Hardcover
Description: When night falls my bed is an air balloon. I sail through the slipsiverse close by the moon. I float above treetops where fluttertufts are sleeping And flowering hills where the whifflepigs go creeping; Ponds strung with starlight that glitter like glass A floog with her velvet nose bent to the grass. Such treasures I spy on! My bed in the trees Swings me up high like a circus trapeze. Now the cool night - rustling air Slips through my finger - gaps ripples my hair; Now we glide over water the moon's silver light Blown by a cloudpuff into the bight Adrift on the sea where the dream - shapes float; When night falls my bed is a sailing boat. A beautifully presented picture book with two front covers the text can be read from front to back and vice versa. The mirror form poem meets in the middle in a stunning centrepiece image as the two children in the story (twins one in an air balloon the other a sailing boat) meet in the clouds!
