(4) K-3 Illustrated by Robert Ingpen. Bored Willow is visited by Tally, a white-bearded character, who convinces her that, thanks to the imagination, a book has more than one story. The accomplished painterly art, featuring a flying horse, reflects this promising if message-y premise. Alas, Willow sounds as though she's reading lines that the plot requires ("Please, tell me more about the book inside the book").
