What If?

24 pp. | Dial | June, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-8037-2390-3 $$15.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Barbara Nascimbeni. What if you climbed a giant sunflower in the backyard and met a girl in the clouds who took you on cloud adventures? The whimsical story (which ends with the boy returned to earth, but on the threshold of a secret door leading into the ground . . . ) encourages creative play, but even more enjoyable are the acrylic illustrations, radiantly colorful and employing imaginative perspectives.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
