As the reader is drawn into Molly's imaginary play, the red dirt becomes the rolling waves, the clouds sea creatures, the clothesline and washing basket a ship, and the farmyard chickens her salty adversaries.
This is a joyful celebration of the imagination, of daydreaming and the power of play.
It's the beauty of childhood and that ability to find fun and adventure in the mundane. Molly's bold exploits are captured through rollicking, playful language and vibrant, loose-lined illustrations.
Early childhood readers will love the strong independence of Molly and the fun she has with her imagination and her physical abilities. And they'll delight in spotting the transformation of everyday objects into props for her game.
