(3) K-3 As a boy travels to school, his drab sepia-toned world is enhanced by an overactive imagination, despite continuous adult reprimands. He eventually discovers an outlet for his daydreams in art class, depicted on several colorful, bursting-with-detail wordless spreads. Hanson's soft, whimsically elaborate mixed-media illustrations absorb readers into the boy's imaginative world; the negative adult interactions can't overpower this visual treat.
