The Someday House by Annie Shelby

The Someday House picture book has a very creative storyline and sparks imagination. The storyline of this book is about a bunch of children that discus what their dream houses look like. The houses the children dream up reminded me very much of tents and cardboard boxes I use to play with when I was younger. I use to imagine these tents made out of blankets and box forts were magical rooms in far away places. Every child is an individual with their own distinctive imagination. Some children can turn a stick into sword preparing for battle, others can turn a playground into a miraculous kingdom but every child can read to spark imagination. The Someday house is one picture book that is relatable to children and uses illustrations and descriptive wording to ignite creativity found in children. Also, these illustrations were detailed and used soft colors. The children drawn in this picture book were cartoons with simple coloring and use of lines. These simple illustrations that contain many details reminded me of how simple objects in life can lead to so much amusement and enjoyment.
