An 'unimaginary' creature waits for a child to imagine him into existence, and takes it upon himself to find a child instead.

The illustrations of this book as the selling point to me. The story is very /very/ simple and doesn't really evoke much in the way of emotional or moral plot, but the artwork and choices of colour make this book an work I would definitely use.

I spotted quite a few similarities to Beegu, but that might have mainly been because I had read it recently...
There is a particular image however of Beekle among the feet of hurrying adults on the street that really could have been almost a spot the different. And the name now that I come to think of it...

They might be a nice comparison study together.
