More DescriptionIn this deceptively simple picture book for the very young, Alexander and his mother engage in a game of wild imagining. With all the comfort and charm of classics like The Runaway Bunny, Alexander's Pretending Day also offers playful reassurance. When Alexander pretends to be a scary monster, his mother says she's always wanted to have a monster for a friend. And when Alexander pretends to be a book, hidden on a shelf, his mother assures him that she'd find him right away under A and that he'd be a wonderful story. Families will love expanding on the text with fanciful "What if?" questions and answers of their own. Dan Andreasen's illustrations add just the right touch of whimsy to this lyrical text about limitless imagination.
