N''arrivant pas à trouver le sommeil, la petite Pauline décide de compter les moutons. Or, ces derniers sont très taquins ce soir: ils chaussent leurs patins et multiplient les cabrioles sur la patinoire avant d''enfourcher leurs motos et de filer dans le vent. Et les voilà qui enfilent des tutus, puis leurs skis, zigzaguant si vite entre les arbres que Pauline n''arrive pas à les dénombrer! La fillette les observera encore intégrer l''arène d''un cirque et un terrain de soccer avant qu''ils ne se reposent enfin sur les bords d''un lac, où elle peut enfin accomplir la tâche qu''elle s''est fixée et se laisser emporter dans les bras de Morphée ... -- Des quatrains rimés défilent sur les doubles pages, magistralement illustrées de peintures sur toile aux couleurs chaudes et vibrantes qui entraînent le lecteur dans une multitude d''univers fantaisistes et poétiques. Un moment de pure et délicieuse folie à partager avant de se mettre au lit. [SDM].
