Synopsis
When a brother and sister go for a walk, their imaginations turn the ordinary into the extraordinary in this sweet and whimsical picture book.
Pup is pulling, Maisie is pushing, and Jonah is looking and listening as the three of them set off on their daily dog walk. But what begins as a chore becomes an unexpected celebration of imagination as their neighborhood transforms. Maisie sees butterfly; Jonah sees a popsicle garden! Maisie sees the postman; Jonah sees a sky slide! And…is that…a tree of cats?!
Differences are what brings richness to the everyday in gorgeous homage to the wonders of the world around us—and the worlds we can create—if only we stop to look and listen.

Reviews
PreS-K-A brother and sister go for a walk with their dog, Tinker, and use their imaginations in this gently paced picture book. As they stroll-Maisie walks, while Jonah uses a wheelchair-the siblings imagine a tree full of cats, a tunnel made of laundry, a tree that is a bell machine, a group of baby dinos in the clouds, and a snow flurry of flying goldfish made of flower petals. Barton's delicately muted digital illustrations portray these flights of fancy simply and beautifully. The siblings are portrayed as white. While the book is generally sweet and dreamy, the first few pages feel off: When the children's mother asks Maisy to walk the dog, Jonah asks to be walked, too. A misunderstanding ensues, the one moment of discord in a serene tale. It's awkward in a story that takes on sibling collaboration and shared creativity. VERDICT A quiet and peaceful picture book about how playing pretend can elevate a chore. Purchase for larger collections.-Kelsey Socha, Westfield Athenaeum, Westfield, MAα(c) Copyright 2011.
