From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1-Shau-yu's imagination soars as she sets off on a simple errand. Shadows become tightropes to walk, a marble transforms the world into a sea of azure, leaves sound like crunchy cookies, and a pair of glasses found on the street demands to be worn in the ever-widening world of possibilities that the child creates. Chen used collage, paper cutting, and charcoal to produce surprising perspectives-spaces and angles echo the youngster's flights of fancy. The artwork is primarily rendered in browns, grays, black, and white, with touches of bright color accents. This universal tribute to the power of a child's imagination will strike a familiar chord with dreamers everywhere.

PreS. In this award-winning import from Taiwan, a young girl's errand to the store turns into a sensory adventure. On her way to buy eggs for her father, young Shau-yu follows a cat's shadow, views her neighborhood through a blue marble, and discovers a pair of glasses that turns her world blurry. After a make-believe game with the shopkeeper and more adventures along the way, Shau-yu returns home to her loving dad. The story is basic, but the simple words and phrases easily show Shau-yu's delight in transforming small things. The earth-tone colors in the crisp paper-and-pencil collages are as quiet as the story, but like Shau-yu's walk, the excitement is in the subtle details and creative perspectives. The beautifully drawn scenes, first washed in blue and then blurred into charcoal smudges, show Shau-yu's view as she peers through her blue marble and then through found eyeglasses. A joyful, understated story for classroom or lap sharing. Gillian Engberg
