Book Review: The Sleeping Gypsy

Hey readers,

Have you ever had a dream that felt so real, you swore you weren’t even asleep? I just read a great book that reminded me of this kind of feeling.

The Sleeping Gypsy by Mordicai Gerstein is all about an artist named Henri Rousseau who has a dream about a girl falling asleep in the middle of the desert. While the girl is sleeping, a group of curious animals come up to her one by one, to get a better look.

Then, out of nowhere, the animals spot a strange figure coming towards them. It’s Henri, the artist who’s having the dream! Why is he there? What will he say to the animals? What happens after he wakes up? You’ll have to check out this book to find out.

Have a great weekend!
