One day, a man by the name of Harris Burdick walked into a publisher's office with a handful of drawings that accompanied his stories. When the publisher lights up and asks for the stories, Harris Burdick promises to return with them, leaving his artwork behind. He never returned, and the images, with only captions of information, bore into the publisher's mind. Many stories have been written to accompany Chris Van Allsburg's beautiful drawings. This simple picture book demands your imagination. This book is the recipient of the Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards.
Excerpt: "Van Allsburg's use of contrast is masterful; one squints at the light from his windows. Layered in mystery, this extraordinary book will stun imaginative readers of all ages. It takes the breath away." Chris Van Allsburg is known for his often unsettling tales, from the benign but dreamlike Christmas fable The Polar Express to the eerie Jumanji. But here, readers are left with only hints about the stories that surround these graphite-gray images -- it's up to readers to craft the tales these puzzling pictures imply. And what enchanting hints they are! Imaginative children (and their parents) can't resist the urge to script their own interpretations of what happens next. Each dreamlike illustration is drawn with a slightly fuzzy quality that nevertheless makes magical use of light and shadow to convey a palpable sense of mystery, and period clothing and other artifacts enhance the classic style of the colorless but lush and subtly shaded drawings. This volume is a must-have for Van Allsburg's fans, for young writers, and for any child who enjoys the fantastical.
