「蚊子會擾人清夢,壁虎長期藏匿家中,鯨魚突然來襲,野豬『逛商場闖童裝店』,蝙蝠則『到超市嘆蘋果』??乍看不討好的動物,身處這座神經兮兮的城市,會否感同身受,久不久排上失眠的隊列,入睡了又闖進詭異的夢境。」
歡迎你進入《蟾蜍夢多》看似尋常又神經質、疑幻疑真的動物寓言世界。
"A mosquito barges into your sweet dreams, a gecko hides itself at home, a whale sweeps the town, a wild boar intrudes a kid's wear shop in a mall, a bat feasts on apples in a supermarket…to these underwhelming animals, does such a daunting city get on their nerves too? Do they, every once in a while, join the insomniacs club and venture into an eerie dream?"
Dreams of A Toad takes you on a trip to the seemingly mundane yet neurotically fantastic world of animal fables.
