He Saves the Day

This book captures the way a young boys imagination works, each moment a new adventure. The fun word play and bright pictures carries my kids along. Loads of fun.

Just a little boy playing with his dog in the backyard--or is it?In this rhythmic romp through a child's playday, we see him become a pirate, a pilot, and a variety of other fanciful characters. In each instance, our hero is headed for certain doom when just in time--He saves the day! Cravath's imaginative art includes everyday items that become something more through a child's eyes. (the wading pool is the sea, the cat is a jungle tiger)Hayles and Cravath have certainly captured the world of a small boy.Perfect for the little heroes in your life!
