PS
Jack's little brother Gus is old enough to play with, but Jack prefers to play alone--until his action figure, Guy, gets tangled in a tree. Crews's photo-collages show real-life boys playing with a real-life toy. The toy figure isn't incorporated into the imaginary elements as smoothly as in Below, but that may fit more with Jack's older perspective.
