(4) K-3 A little girl encourages her brother on their walk to school by inventing elaborate games for him to play along the way. Shades of gray become swirling colored illustrations as they enter the creative worlds Viola conjures up. The message about the power of imagination isn't new, but the siblings' relationship and the detailed illustrations are both engaging.
