My comments: This clever picture book entertains up to the very end - and what an ending! It's all about a little girl's imagination, with lots and lots and LOTS to look at in each illustration. It's also about what her life is about to become, I think! SO MUCH to talk about and share with kids in this one.
Goodreads: As a young girl climbs the seven stories to her own (very boring!) apartment, she imagines what’s behind each of the doors she passes. Does the door with all the locks belong to a family of thieves? Might the doorway with muddy footprints conceal a pet tiger? Each spread reveals—in lush detail—the wilds of the girl’s imagination, from a high-flying circus to an underwater world and everything in between. When the girl finally reaches her own apartment, she is greeted by her parents, who might have a secret even wilder than anything she could have imagined!
