This very short book nevertheless took some surprising turns. When the boy in the title had his idea, I thought it was turning off in the direction of a fantasy/imagination story. But not so! It became the start of a group project for the children in real life. Although this project was doomed to failure, "Grammy Ann's" gentle voice resists all temptation to make her characters stupid or wrong. Instead, she takes the opportunity to share a lesson (repeated twice) on what is and is not possible with materials on hand. This book is a clear winner. You can't go wrong with it at any age.
