Atlas of Imaginary Places

This dreamy, gorgeously detailed picture book leads children on a journey to impossible but wonderfully imagined places.

Upside-down mountains, volcanoes that spew bubble gum, a gentle humpback whale keeping an entire city afloat. These and other wonderful worlds may not exist on Earth, but elsewhere--who knows? Each spread of this captivating book invites readers on a fantastic voyage. Ana de Lima's whimsical, softly colored illustrations are filled with surprising details that reward close examination, while Mia Cassany's soothing narrator is a nameless fellow traveler. A jungle where the animals exchange stripes, spots, and markings each time they sneeze, an archipelago made up of dessert-shaped islands, and a lighthouse so tall you can draw a new galaxy with your finger are just some of the wild places to visit. Perfect for before-bed reading, or daytime dreaming, this stunningly illustrated book will delight young readers and encourage them to conjure their own imaginary places.

Aceasta carte ilustrata de vis, foarte detaliata, ii conduce pe copii intr-o calatorie catre locuri imposibile, dar minunat imaginate: munti cu capul in jos, vulcani care arunca guma, o balena cu cocoasa blanda care mentine un intreg oras pe linia de plutire. Este posibil ca aceste si alte lumi minunate sa nu existe pe Pamant, dar in alta parte - cine stie?
