Ship Ahoy! and
Firetruck both written and illustrated by Peter Sis celebrate the imagination of young creative minds. A boy rearranges his couch cushions to make various vessels fit for sea (or lake or river...). My son was especially taken with the vacuum cleaner sea monster figuring in prominently at the end of
Ship Ahoy!.
Firetruck similarly follows a young boy who eats, sleeps, and breathes firetrucks. One morning he wakes up to discover he has become a firetruck much to his delight.
And of course, Antoinette Portis's
Not A Stick and
Not A Box are now classic odes to imaginative young minds hard at play much beloved by the three year old in our house.
