In her second book, Madlenka walks her dog. Said dog has a real leash but is invisible, yet her neighbors are undeterred in knowing what it looks like, which in each case is a dog well remembered and revealed through a restrained series of flaps. Madlenka's imagination is exercised to impressive effect in the games she plays with best friend Cleopatra--who has an imaginary horse. The intergenerational connections make this an inspired choice for sharing.
