Roxaboxen
Submitted by SarahKate on Tue, 11/06/2007 - 16:42.SarahKate's Notes:
This book sweeps you up in the imagination of children who spend their summer building a town, Roxaboxen, out of rocks and bits of desert glass. This book is truly a favorite of my (then) 7 yo, and has been for years.

Marian called it Roxaboxen. (She always knew the name of everything.) There across the road, it looked like any rocky hill -- nothing but sand and rocks, some old wooden boxes, cactus and greasewood and thorny ocotillo -- but it was a special place: a sparkling world of jeweled homes, streets edged with the whitest stones, and two ice cream shops.

The children in our home (our own and visiting) love this book! Of all the books I read at story time, they told me this was favorite. However, it's not nearly as fantastic as Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

Kate dreams about a postcard Grandpa has sent, and the story begins.

Imagine a Night
Submitted by SarahKate on Sun, 11/11/2007 - 20:45.SarahKate's Notes:
The paintings in this book are extraordinary! One shows three children jumping on beds, and patchwork quilts change into rivers and farms seen from high above. "Imagine a night … when you can't sleep, and so you jump high enough to soar over a quilt of fields and forests." Very magical and inspiring to the imagination.

Imagine a night when you can ride your bike right up the stairs to your bed. Imagine a night when your toy train rumbles on its tracks out of your room and roars back in, full sized, ready for you to hop on for a nighttime adventure. Imagine a night when a farmer plays a lullaby on his fiddle, and his field of sunflowers begins to dip and sway to the rhythm.
