Dare to Imagine: A magical, whimsical journey

Dare to Imagine: A magical, whimsical journey
By Leonard I. Eckhaus
Dare to Imagine is a cornucopia of wonderful children's poems, songs and fables.
Follow the kitten Patches as she makes a new friend and learns how important it is to heed her mother's advice; read the fairytale of Sirius, the brightest star in our galaxy and how she taught all the other stars to shine brightly and light up the sky every night; go on a great adventure with Darby as he rides trolley cars and marches in a parade; and go along on an eight year old's journey to an ancient castle where he meets the king and the queen and eats blackbird pie.

Each poem and fable parallel events and activities all younger children experience. When you purchase the book, you will be able to download the songs that go along with the poems.

I Love these kinds of books. I feel like I am getting a deal with having multiple poems and stories inside one book. My daughter loved the songs that went along with the poems. She's been listening to them all day. I like when books have questions to engage the young reader to better understand what we just read. At the end of each story are some questions for discussion. My son liked the Let’s be Silly poem because he is a goofball. He saw the illustration of the novelty glasses with a nose that we have at his grandparents house. He also loved The Night the Sky Lit Up. We have a telescope and we’re both into astronomy. The facts about stars were pretty cool too. I think this is a great book for families with kids with different aged kids. The younger kids can learn to read with the easier poems and the older kids can read the longer stories.
