| Summary | "A Child's Dream of the Zoo" by William Manning is a whimsical poem written in the late 19th century. This entertaining work, aimed primarily at children, transports readers into an imaginative world where the boundaries between humans and animals blur, inviting exploration and adventure. The likely topic of the book revolves around a child's fantastical dream of visiting a zoo, where the animals engage in playful and friendly behavior. In the poem, the narrator, feeling unwell, drifts into a delightful dream where he finds himself in a zoo transformed into a vibrant wonderland. Accompanied by a monkey and a keeper, he witnesses an array of cheerful animals enjoying a festive atmosphere, complete with picnics, races, and dances. From playful interactions among various species to humorous scenarios—such as a bear acting as an acrobat and a lion on a stroll—the dream unfolds with charm and creativity. As the festivities culminate in a lively dance under the moonlight, the dream takes a turn when a parrot jests about tea, waking the narrator from his enchanting experience. This playful narrative captures the innocence and excitement of childhood imagination, making the book a delightful read. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
