Superb, beautiful magic/realism !!! Bought in Dec 09 from Amazon @ $12.59. Wanted to buy another as a gift, but what's up w/ the price??? Now they're priced from $60 to $150. Looked all over w/no success.

Be sure to check out the books Imagine a Night, Imagine a Day, and Imagine a Place for more art by Rob Gonsalves!

Fabulous pictures creating much interesting conversation among office friends. Super fast shipping. Very satisfied.

I like art that makes me want to look at it over and over, always finding something new and interesting to see. This calendar definitely delivers! If you're a fan of the author's illustrations in Imagine a Day (Byron Preiss Book), Imagine a Place, and Imagine a Night, you will love this calendar. I'm glad I bought it!

The artwork of Rob Gonsalves in the books Imagine a Place, Imagine a Day and Imagine a Night is genius and is the source material of this calendar. Adults and children alike will spend hours looking at his pictures. Most of his art is a beautiful but impossible image - very imaginative. For example, you might find a picture of a hiker setting out across stones on a foggy creek. Gradually the stones turn into castle spires and hikers are hopping from tower to tower.

If you ever as an adult looked back at a picture book from your childhood and found that the words were very few but your memories of that book were very detailed and vivid due to the artwork, these books will be among the best of those.

I bought an extra copy of a Rob Gonsalves book and cut it up and had the pictures laminated and hung in my high school math classroom. Every student and teacher loves them. Everyone who has ever been in the room has a favorite picture that he finds amazing.
