Description

Jack receives a mysterious present for his birthday that teaches him the power of his own imagination.

Quick Summary

Jack's birthday present turns out to be a little mechanical gizmo that responds to his imagination when he thinks wiggly, it wiggles, and when he imagines it zooming, it zooms. It's a short, funny little story with plenty of silly pictures, and kids tend to get a kick out of guessing what Jack will think of next. The book works especially well for early readers in kindergarten through second grade, or for anyone who likes stories where imagination solves the problem. There's nothing scary or heavy here just playful fun and a sweet message about creativity without being preachy about it. If your kid enjoys silly, fast-paced picture books, this one delivers. Fans of "The Dot" or "What Do You Do With an Idea?" might like this as a lighter, more humorous alternative.
