Imagination can be fun. Unfortunately, sometimes imagination is scary. Nevertheless, using one’s imagination brings loads of fun into any situation. The parent’s responsibility is to teach their children the difference between reality and make-believe. In Adventures of Peyton and Myown: Tiny, Where Are You? Alicia Greene shares a make-believe adventure that her daughter and friend took. Using their minds, Peyton and her little friend pretend they are deep in a jungle looking for different animals. They find all types of creatures. Some are friendly, but others are scary until they get to know them. At the end of the book, Alicia explains what actual items were the basis for the imaginary animals. It is a good idea for parents always to explain pretend from real and let children know that there is no need to be afraid of pretend creatures. Alicia also includes a couple of pages on which the reader can draw animals.
Children naturally use their imaginations during playtime. A great example of this is found in Adventures of Peyton and Myown by Alicia Greene. Only as we grow older does pretending become difficult. Good parenting includes teaching your children to enjoy their pretend time and understand the difference between reality and imagination. Alicia shows how even the mundane items found in a backyard can become amazing jungle animals. Peyton’s adventure shows the importance of make-believe. What animals do you think Peyton and her friends will find and will they be frightened? What animals would you look for in a jungle? Always remember that imagination is for playtime and relaxation. After playtime is over, one must return to the world of reality. Read this entertaining book to find out how much fun imagination can be.
