From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3 Children will relate to this delightful tale of a young boy, who, bored with his toys, uses his imagination to climb his toy fire truck ladder into an imaginary attic. He finds a family of mice full of activity, a spider weaving an intricate web, a flying machine to sail through the world and a friendly tiger with great conversation. Since imaginary games cannot go on forever, he climbs down his ladder and returns home to dinner. Kitamura's colorful watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations are large enough for enjoyable storytelling, yet brimming with imaginative detail for hours of individual pleasure. A fine picture book that shows the value of imagination in children. Peggy Forehand, Chesapeake Headquarters Library, Va.
