My boys loved this book. The storyline is unique and enjoyable and the artwork is well-done. It takes about ten minutes to read aloud so it's perfect for bedtime reading. The story is simple enough for a three year old yet interesting enough for an eight year old. At first the story seems normal with the main character, Michael, enjoying his sixth birthday party. After the party he goes to his room to play with his toys. One of his gifts is a easel, drawing pad and a set of markers. Once Michael starts to draw he is amazed that whatever he draws comes to life. To find out what happens you'll have to read the book.There was one concern. Michael lies to his mother and when caught there is no correction or discipline. It's just brushed over like nothing ever happened. I know we live in a world where lies are normal but is that the message we want to send our kids?Highly recommended.
