AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

The places we imagine in our dreams can sometimes feel as real as the world we live in, but be a lot more fantastical. This wonderful book takes readers to places in an imaginary world with vivid and detailed illustrations.

I like a lot about this book. Its whimsical and beautifully illustrated--giving readers a lot to explore in the pictures alone. I love the idea of a "map book" about an imaginary world. This could be a fun side-lesson for a geography class or a good jumping off point for a fiction-writing exercise. I also think this will be a great gift book for adults who love a good magical-dreamlike picture book.
