If I Were Invisible by Lily Lawson - Illustrated by Gustyawan - #BookReview #BlogTour

 

If I were invisible, I wonder what I'd do?

I would stand on rooftops! No-one would have a clue.

***

Think of all the things we could get away with if nobody could see us! But how long would the fun last, if we had to do it all alone?

***

This is a charming picture book aimed at a young audience. I could well imagine this becoming a favourite with pre-school/early infant age children.

The book is written in rhyme within speech bubbles as the little boy who features in the story questions how his life would be if he was invisible. The illustrations support this perfectly and they have a simplistic design to them that young children will love.

It is an interesting concept and could lead to good and simple discussions with children regarding how it would feel to not belong to a family or have friends.

It is a delightful little story and I cannot wait to share it with my grandson.
