osprey_archerI read The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend, which means *slams tankard on table* I am DONE with the Caldecott project! Except for this year’s winner which I haven’t read yet but SHHH.
Anyway, this is a cute note to end on. In fact it’s a little too cute for my taste - I feel that the land of imaginary friends ought to have a more numinous wonder to it, a Chris van Allsburg edge - but still, the idea of an island full of imaginary friends just waiting to be imagined is a lot of fun.
Beekle is one of those as-yet-unimagined friends. After waiting and waiting, he gets impatient and builds a sailboat, which he sails to the Real World so he can search for his friend. Does he find her? Of course he finds her. This is a picture book. Everyone gets a happy ending.
