Imagine a Place

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Rob Gonsalves. "Imagine a place... / ...where your mind opens wider / than any walls around you." Thomson's imagery-heavy text asks readers to allow their imaginations to take them to wondrous places. Gonsalves's meticulous acrylic paintings, merging surreal Escher-inspired object transformations with Van Allsburg-like visual non sequiturs, are fascinating. This is a book to get lost in and to dream with.
