Illustrated by
Julia Denos.
When Ida begins school she brings along her imaginary friend, Dotty. Ida withstands classmates' teasing and discovers that her teacher sympathizes with the unique friendship. Appealing brush-ink illustrations convey a contemporary school setting with an assortment of inventive imaginary friends. The book jacket features Ida lounging atop Dotty, a large white creature replete with red, sparkly polka dots.
