Illustrated by
Isabelle Malenfant.
In this satisfying story, Jamie loves building settings for his exciting imaginative play, but his mother thinks he's only creating a mess. After Jamie realizes his creations do look chaotic from her elevated vantage point, he invites her down to experience them on the floor--and she finally understands. The illustrations cleverly show how Jamie's imagination transforms ordinary household objects.
