Bea has nobody to play with until Bingo--a large, talkative, wholly imaginary dog--appears. Bingo's suggestion, "Let's do something we're not supposed to do," leads Bea (who looks like an early Sendak character) to make the most of water, dirt, and her naughty playmate. This book, with its child-sized problem and child-sized solution, is a fresh take on imaginary friends.
