Summary catalog

This artistically colored picture shows us the parents of another "Little Nemo" as they enter his play room and present him with a miniature circus. The little fellow plays with the puppets until, tired out, he falls asleep beside them. Next we see him dreaming that all the little dummies come to life and are performing in the ring. We see his dreams enacted before us and it is as interesting as though we are really witnessing a circus. We see the elephants doing some clever tricks, also the horses with their bareback riders, and the clown with his usual funny stunts. Finally an ostrich comes on the scene and plays all sorts of amusing pranks, and the child's parents enter the room and awaken him and, to his dismay, so real has been his dream, he finds all the toys just as he left them on the table. We see the little fellow as he describes to his amused parents the wonders he has seen in his sleep.
