Mabel and Sam at Home (Imagination Books for Kids, Children's Books about Creative Play)

"This highly recommended tribute to the imagination is comprised of delightful pictures and three clever and entertaining stories." -Booklist, starred review

This playful and endearing book celebrates imaginative play as Mable and Sam move into a new house and make it their own. They sail the high seas of their new home, tour the intriguing museum of their living room, journey through outer space to the safety of their own beds, and discover how far afield—and how close to home—imagination can take them. Funny and engaging, this celebration of moving in and settling in is both heart-warming and house-warming.
