My Never Ending List

I had to look at this book a few times to get all the details out of it. I’m glad that it was a wordless book as I thought words would take away from the imagination that it offered. So happy to see that the purple bird is back in the second part of this adventure but you don't need to look at the first book to take this adventure, just open up your mind and be ready for an adventure. Raining at the park, the two children are taking shelter under a bridge. A large wooden door catches the eye of the young girl and a king opens the door appearing with map and other treasures which the children quickly gather up before the guards whisk the king away. Looking at the map, the children see what they must do. Armed with keys to open the door back up, the children are ready to solve the mystery. With the purple bird following them, they open the door to discover a land that is lacking in color.  Armed with a purple and red marker/color the children set out to obtain the tubes of color that are located throughout the land. It’s like Harold and his Purple Color as the children draw items to help them navigate throughout the land to get the prized colors to attach to a belt. I’ve always like Harold and this book is a keeper too. Their imagination and their creativity to navigate to get their desired objects are entertaining and lively. The children are not the center of attention on the page, it is the background, the enchanted world that captives your attention and makes you scrutinize it, analyzing everything around it.
