Agaoglu, Basak. The
Almost Impossible Thing. Philomel
Books (Penguin), 2017. $16.99. Content: G.
PICTURE BOOK.
The dream wanted something impossible. So, the bunny tried to fly. The bunny tried putting on wings and jumping
on a tramp. Other animals couldn’t see
the dream. The dream was too small to
contain and pushed and pulled until it became a rocket of color. Even then, others still couldn’t see it.
The story is written from the “Dream’s” perspective and is a
lovely allegory of how human dreamers struggle to make their dream become
reality. The illustrations were created
with block printing, gouache, and ink.
They are a colorful, whimsical, and the stuff that dreams are made
of.
Pre-K, EL-ADVISABLE.
