Calista's Reviews > The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend

Delighted. Each page and idea delighted and enchanted me. I love this book about Beekle. I think Caldecott really got it right this year.

I love how it starts off in a land of imagination with hyper colors and the stars deliver them to where they need to be. Beekle isn't chosen so they set off to the real world to find someone. This land is gray and brown and not as colorful. I love how he shows all the things adults do are like children. Adults nap on the subway - this tickled me to no end. Any place there are children it is bright and light and full of imagination. Beekle does get found by someone finally.

I loved this so much. I read it to the kids and they loved it too. They laughed and were very engaged with the story. They stopped fidgeting. This is a GEM!
