Chimps Don't Wear Glasses

I LOVED this book! It starts out with things that animals don't do. For example, "Chimps don't wear glasses, and zebras don't cook and you wont see a kangaroo reading a book." The text rhymes and the pictures of the animals are large, silly and colorful. However, after going on for a little about what animals don't do, the book interacts with the readers and asks them to close their own eyes and draw what they see. 

I think this is a wonderful way to start the imagination process for young children. Getting what they have in their head down on paper is sometimes hard for youngsters and this book gives children the opportunity to take time and try it out. Then at the end of the book the author writes a question to readers about what they see because it is their dreams. Dreams can be a tricky thing to grasp because there is a definite line between reality and fantasy. I can see myself reading this book to a preschool or lower level education group and doing a fun art/paint activity and have the students draw their dreams that have had and then have them tell the class about it.
