WE CAN ALL USE A LITTLE MORE IMAGINATION...in our lives...that's why I'm fascinated with this new book by my long time editor Dawn Anfuso (imediaconnection.com). She captures the essence of imagination that we all remember from being kids. Since you probably can't just run out and play today, take a look at this book on Amazon.com and consider it for a pal or for one of the favorite children you know. Me-- I bought one for a child in Perth, Australia and another for -- well, for me!.....enjoy! blogged by Joyce Schwarz, www.hollywood2020.blogs.com.
Who knew that you too could be queen or king of your day -- all it takes is a golden crown and a red robe...check out this picture which is the kind that inspired the cover of IMAGINATION: A Journey of the Mind by Dawn Anfuso and illustrated by Suzanne Gibson.
Here's my review from Amazon.com for IMAGINATION (see links below):
IMAGINATION: A Journey of the Mind by Dawn Anfuso and illustrated by Suzanne Gibson is a charming picture book that inspires creativity. "Let's Pretend" is always a favorite activity and this book's enamoring rhyming verse and gorgeous pastels are the perfect accompaniment to 'dressing-up'! One timely favorite is the page with the Pirate! "If your box begins to tip, You can pretend it is a ship"...ah the wonder of the plain old paper box Great for reading to toddlers and fun first reader for pre-school/kindergarten and first graders. Terrific for an older child to read to a younger one. AND my favorite-- a wonderful rainy day activity or for when the new babysitter shows up. Keep it on display it's so gorgeous it will make a nice addition to your child's book case. And don't forget to save a cardboard box and toss in some dress up items like a crown and cowboy hats and more...so your kids can be king or queen of the mountain. I just love the cover....total empowerment! As noted, it is a terrific gift for a birthday for someone of any age who values creativity and imagination.
