Magritte's Imagination
by Susan Goldman Rubin
Ages 1-4 12 pages Chronicle April 2009 Board book    

Young readers willing to take a trip with Susan Goldman Rubin into the imagination of René Magritte will likely be intrigued by all that simmers there. The book highlights a number of familiar objects such as a train, lion, and the shiny green apple. It is the unusual placement of those objects that offers an introduction to realism likely to engage those who have little or no exposure to this form of art.

Whether it is the upside-down training racing out of the chimney or the apple covering the front of a stranger’s face, the ordinary objects presented in extraordinary illustrations make Magritte's Imagination a great way to expand any child’s board book collection.
