Simple stories, BIG imagination

The Extraordinary Imagination of Jenny Figment is the kind of chapter book in which teachers can find exciting words to enliven weekly vocabulary quizzes. It’s a good choice for classroom read-alouds, and likely will stir conversation about the existence and nature of ghosts, as well as imaginary friends.

This book is perfect for middle-grade readers who want something to reflect the season, and the illustrations by Balinese artist Ipan will evoke those special drawings made in elementary school, where the only restriction is the edges of one’s imagination. It’s a great book for children and adults to share.

This book is delightful! I love that the author gives Jenny the reins to explore her imagination. Books like this inspire children to dream. From Spiderlings to Pinkerdoodles, this story is fun to read. I love the little map in the front of the book too. A very talented author!

Reading all three of your books has been such a fun and exciting adventure. We absolutely love the characters you’ve created and the amazing settings each story takes place in. We especially loved the illustrations in this most recent book… we spent so much time looking at the pictures and talking about different parts of the story, imagining what it would be like to be a part of the story. Reading your books at night created some amazing moments of connection for my daughter and I. We can’t wait for the next one!

I am a future teacher and was eager to read the book and have a copy to share with my future students. I started the book and found that I could not put it down. The characters had such depth that I was intrigued and wanted to learn more about them. The storyline was so creative and engaging. I love when I can pick up a book and instantly visualize the setting and story! Highly recommend this book for every first to fifth grade classroom! Your students will love this!
