I think this picture book mixes photorealism and painting successfully (as opposed to Knuffle Bunny) because the division makes sense: photography represents the every day, and the fanciful drawings dramatize the mythic unknown (also known as what lies beneath the stairs.) Plus, a mixed-race family!

June 2017 - Ben was excited about this one as soon as he saw the crane on the cover, and it totally hit a sweet spot, matching where he is with imaginative play. This is one that we're reading over and over.
