The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend
by Dan Santat
Age: Preschool-2nd grade
A nice twist on imaginary friend stories, this is told from the perspective of the imaginary friend. The book starts on an island far away where imaginary friends of various shapes and sizes wait to be "claimed" by children (although, this does take the imagination away from children because the imaginary friends are technically already made).
Determined to be imagined, one little marshmallow-like creature with a crown sets off to find a friend.
The story is lovely, gripping, and well developed and the artwork is delightful. The ending is satisfying--not only does the lonely girl find and name her imaginary friend, Beekle, she also finds another boy to play with.
