Illustrated by
Dan Andreasen.
Alexander says to his mother, "Pretend I'm a mouse.... What would you do?" She puts down her newspaper, and together they imagine what it would be like if he were a mouse, a lion, a train, etc. Alexander's testing and his mother's tirelessness are favorably reminiscent of the loving mother-son dynamic in The Runaway Bunny, and the illustrations ably interpret Alexander's limitless imagination.
