(4) K-3 Illustrated by Rogério Coelho. This sumptuously illustrated picture book illuminates the fantastical, magical, and worldly journeys one can take through reading. The rhythmic rhyming text suggests--in an opaque and roundabout way--the pleasures words on a page can offer with help from one's imagination. Whimsical paintings of steampunk-esque scenes in an assortment of blue hues invite readers to achieve their imaginative traveling.
