What's that noise?

This book is a classic in its beautiful graphic presentation. It is just so wonderful for the age appropriate you designated. I can not say enough about how wonderful it is.

What Imagination!

This book is from the viewpoint of a child. It is obvious to me that the author/illustrator, William Carman, was able to draw on his own childhood imaginings and on the imaginations of his children to create such a brilliant work. It is inspired, simple, sweet, with exquisite illustrations that just draw the viewer in and takes you on a journey through a child's imagination with a lovely ending. Bravo!
