Pennypacker: Stuarts Cape

I enjoyed this book. I love the cover and all of the illustrations. However, I can also see how the pictures do take a little away from the child's/reader's imagination and point of view. On the other hand, the book evolves into an incredible storyline about a creative little boy who takes everyday occurrences and changes them into imaginative ideas and thoughts. My favorite part was when he interacts with his aunt because I have three little nephews and I could relate this book to them. I like to think this book gave me a little idea about what really goes on in a little boy's head.
