Tiny Worlds

Mom's Review
Who is not entranced my miniature versions of the world? In Tiny Worlds, the young narrator crafts buildings and parks out of found materials; we can see his imagination taking flight and Tiny Town coming to life... UNTIL his grandmother insists on going to the actual park and then for a hike. Even so, our narrator imagines pebbles as boulders and ants in farmers. A few days of balancing real-world adventures with Tiny Town imaginings show readers how the child and his grandmother share with one another that which brings each joy. Each character draws the other to his or her interests. Tiny Worlds is a great springboard for conversation about imagination, creativity, and appreciating other people's interests. Also, don't overlook the orange cat!
