Such a heart warming and intriguing read. When a little boy has absolutely everything, but is still bored, he finds the power of the imagination. He transports himself into new worlds and onto epic adventures- all from the comfort of his attic. He goes to the pyramids, space, and hovers above cities. The story is quite humorous in that at the end of the day the little boy leaves the attic to inform his mother all about his experiences- and the reader finds that they do not actually have an attic. This reveals the limits of the adult imagination, and it is lovely to see a child be so enlightened and self confident in his imagination - he know that she has just not found the ladder.
The ladder itself is a very interesting element of the story, wondering what the ladder actually is - a real thing that the boy has found, or just a representation of the imagination that allows us to enter new worlds?
The illustrations are particularly strong- I really enjoyed how the shape and setting of the attic, which is almost like a blank canvas, slot perfectly into the shapes of the worlds that the boy creates.
