A stunningly unique picture book which encourages creative writing and the imagination from the two time Caldecott medal winner Chris Van Allsburg.
Chris van Allsburg lives in Providence, Rhode Island and lectures at the Rhode Island School of Design. He is a sculptor and artist.
"A must-have, with a curious set of images to stimulate the
imagination of young and old... Every school will want this
extraordinary book."
*The Bookseller*
"Allsburg's soft back and white illustrations have a dream-like
quality manipulating light, perspective and texture to create
unsettling drawings. The stories mix interiors and exteriors,
portraits and landscapes, all full of wonder and mysteries to be
solved."
*Booktrust*
"Every page tantalises, sparks ideas, plays with your mind,
intrigues and inspires."
*The Bookbag*
"Extremely puzzling as well as stimulating . . . Certainly an
invitation for individual interpretations and expansions in almost
any media."
*The School Librarian*
"An innovative and useful book, especially for using as stimulus
for young people's writing."
*Armadillo Magazine*
