BUYING ADVISORY: Pre K - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Rene Descartes was a philosopher who thought imagining makes you wise. He experimented with imagining, picturing things he had experienced as well as thing he hadn't. He realized that people are different and so are their imaginations, but we all imagine. Descartes said "I think, therefore I am." 

OK, I think the grown-ups will enjoy sharing this clever board book with their toddler, probably more than the toddler will enjoy the book, however, the imagination activities would be fun to try and are great conversation starter, even for a young person. Stretch that imagination!
