But the dream grows mischievous. It visits animals, too, prompting pets to take off their leashes, unlock their cages, and push the covers off their tanks. Wild animals abandon the jungles and forests. They go to airports and get on jet planes and fly around the world. Soon, the elephant is out of its element, the tiger is drinking cider, and the llama is wearing pajamas.
Dogs play baseball and penguins surf the Internet.
The animals even dress up in the parents' best clothes and visit fancy restaurants. Things go wrong. The giraffe forgets to turn off the water in the shower. The rhino sits on the dishwasher and squashes it. The unhappy children start to cry.
