BUYING ADVISORY: EL (4-6) – ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
The Fantastic Bureau of Imagination has a bevy of special agents, called “figments” who help to keep the world’s creativity running. One agent, Sparky, notices a disaster brewing in the heart of the bureau, so he puts the call out to all the readers of the world to help save the bureau with their imaginations.
Brad Montague was the creative mind behind “Kid President” and almost all of his content is charming, uplifting, and empowering. His book, co-illustrated with his wife, is the same. It’s a fantastical tale, brimming with magic and possibility. I would argue that it’s complex enough for upper elementary (4-6) as I don’t think younger readers would grasp the full message. I do think it is a book that would be more loved by adults than children. I also think this would be a great supplementary book in the classroom for a creative writing unit.
