This is an example of fantasy because it is about a boy and his dog who wake up to the midnight man putting stars in the sky and follow him until they cant anymore and fall asleep in field where then moon then takes them home and puts them back in their bed. The story makes it believable but seems to suggest it is a dream but leaves you to decide.
