Before I Go to Sleep / Antes de irme a dormir

A young boy's vivid imagination takes center stage on a sweltering summer evening as he dreams of transforming into various animals, each with whimsical adventures. From a playful hound to a polar bear selling ice, his creative musings capture the joys of childhood fantasy. Accompanied by Mary Jane Begin's vibrant illustrations, this classic poem by Thomas Hood explores themes of imagination and the fleeting nature of dreams, culminating in the boy's gentle drift into slumber before he decides on his favorite animal.
