review 1: Remember when you were a kid and things seemed so much bigger and more beautiful? That is what this book is about. This is the first Stella book I have read and I loved it. I bought all the Stella books for my library because someone I trust recommended them. So glad I listened! Parents will love this book too because it will remind them of things their children said and did when they were little. Reminded me that when my son was three he wanted to grow up and become a butterfly!
review 2: After several Stella books and some Sam books too, readers will get the treat of seeing a much younger Stella in this new picture book. A tiny version of the imaginative Stella moves quickly from one imaginative idea to the next. Stella races her rubber ducks in the b... moreathtub, listens to the stories the trees tell in the wind, and explores the jungle of tall grass in her backyard. By the end of the book, Stella is bigger and Sam has appeared so she has someone to share her stories and imagination with.Gay portrays an imaginative child who happily plays in her own creative world alone but just as merrily includes a younger sibling. Gay uses poetic words to describe Stella and her surroundings. One of my favorites has the trees outside Stella’s windows talking in the evening. It gives readers an even clearer sense of Stella’s internal world. Beautifully and tangibly written and captured. Gay’s illustrations are just as successful. Her watercolors offer a vivid glimpse into Stella’s imagination. Yet the illustrations are more about her reality than her imagination. Done with just the right touch and tone, this book is a pleasure.Readers who already love Stella and Sam will be the first in line for this book, but those who are just discovering them will find themselves welcomed into a wondrous new world. Appropriate for ages 3-6. less
