The Fantastic Backyard of Imagination Kindle Edition

by Heather Hayes (Author), Andrew R Wheeler (Illustrator) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 32
See all formats and editions
Kent has a fantastic imagination. His cats become ferocious lions and his climbing tree becomes a castle. Unfortunately his sister Hannah has an equally amazing imagination and has dibbs on the climbing tree. Their two imaginary worlds keep colliding in funny ways. As the children’s imaginations incorporate every quirky thing that comes along, it is plain to see that when you have a good imagination, you are never bored.

I really enjoyed this book with my little girl who is 7yrs. old. It is so creative and I looked forward to reading it with her every night. This is a great book to add to your home library and give as gifts as well. I got the books as promised in excellent condition, fast shipping, and dedicated personally to my daughter. I will be buying more of these books for gifts in the future.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining plot & vibrant illustrations
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2016

Enjoyed this brief read.

Pros:
1- Author understands how children think. Plums become "purple goo bombs," annoying sister & friends are "princesses of hysteria," parents are the "bosses of the land," and a tree house is a home and hospital for caring for sick children.
2- Story line encourages imaginative play sans electronics.
3- Illustrations are amazing!

Cons:
1- Upon initial reading (and without any previous idea of what the book was about) transitions between the "Princesses of Hysteria" and "Kent the Brave" were a little confusing. However, after reading the synopsis, the book was entertaining and transistions seemed much more fluid.

So great to build kids imaginations! I love the comparison of real life to what they were pretending. My daughter loved the characters and the bright colors throughout the book! She even asked to read it again! :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Imaginative book for children
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2016

I gave this book a 4 because I read it to my four year old and she enjoyed it. Though I would probably rate it a 3. If there was more author narrative , this book would have probably had my attention more. It was imaginative for young children and opens a door for me to be able to talk to my children about using their imagination instead of movies and video games. (Which my kids are pretty good at anyway). It has good examples of how imaginations can be used by kids.

Very creative and fun. I think it is a great book to show kids there are no limits to their fun with imagination. I will definitely be getting this in a hard copy not just on our electronics.

This book is loads of fun. A backyard becomes the easel for imaginative play while Kent the brave and his sidekick Terrence save his castle from raging lions (kittens), a grumpy goober monster ( his baby brother), who will be soothed only with a bag of donut seeds, and the princesses of hysteria ( his sister and her friends). In the course of their day, they will visit the canopy of darkness and the mighty sludge pit and find magic tools. Meanwhile, his sister and her friends are on their own backyard adventures. fun for ages 4-8

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Colors, Fun Ideas
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2016

I read this book in the kindle version as well as printed. The bright colors were much more appealing to me in the printed version. I enjoyed the story but my 3 year old is definitely too young to understand the switching back and forth from imagination and reality. He loved the pictures and had lots of questions, so I look forward to reading it to him more as his understanding increases.
