Inspiring, intriguing, endlessly entertaining - Norman Messenger's interactive book allows us to step out of our everyday lives, shed our preconceptions, and experience a little magic.IMAGINE . . . a ladder without steps, a clock without hands, a racket without strings, a kiss without a mouth. Imagine a world where the hills have faces and wherever you went, you'd have someone to talk to. Imagine flipping a series of flaps to form fantastical creatures or turning a wheel to fit the top of one face on the bottom of another. Imagine that Norman Messenger's quirky, humorous suggestions, ingenious visual puzzles, and beautifully crafted illustrations will open your eyes and mind and reveal that - with a little imagination - the world can become a different and mysterious place, where anything is possible.
My students love this book. I do an assignment where my kinders create their own creatures and the images of the flip-page combined creatures. It also has good prompts for creative writing assignments for older students.
Intriging

I am 13 and I found this book utterly intriging. With such fine detail Messenger shows us how to look at the world in different ways. I learn something new from this book everytime I look at it. It would suit any age group, from 3 - 100. I loved it and I'm sure that anyone else would think the same. 10/10

I got this for my 6yr old daughter and she loves it. The illustration is beautiful but what keeps my daughter asking for it is the puzzles in it. Great Book.
A Really Fun Book!

"Imagine," is one of the most outstanding children's books I have had the privilege to review this year. Inside the covers of this book, children will be able to interact as they imagine many different scenario's, for example; what different animals would look like with other animal heads or bottoms, and they will giggle up a storm as they give it a try.That is just the beginning of the fun as this read explodes into countless imagining for your child. The illustrations are priceless and add flare to a book that is already top of the notch. Parents, do not miss this one. Your children will be absolutely delighted with this book and it will give them hours of entertainment as their imagination soars. I give it my highest recommendation.
