In My World

By Maria Ciaccio and Chuck Aardema

Can you imagine a world where whales climb trees and monkeys have feathers? What about horses that crow first thing in the morning or groundhogs that sing? Can you picture tall purple dandelions that grow like trees or kids with wings flying high in the sky?

In this world, imaginations run wild with delight as illustrations present familiar things in very unusual ways. Every image has colorful surprises designed to inspire children to picture the world around them in a new way.

Whimsical and fun, this childrens tale depicts a world in which animals, plants, insects, and people behave and look very differently from what we know.

In my world, the cows are blue and puppies moo and rhinos lay the eggs.

All the young fish walk to school

and snakes have short red legs.
