This fantasy book jumps right into the problem and doesn't try to explain anything going on in the story. Children would love this book because it's so outlandish. Media: Watercolor ( )

This book is really funny. It is a story about a little girl's adventures one day when she woke up with antlers. It is great story and chilren would enjoy it. ( )

Imogene is a girl who wakes up to find that she has seemed to have grown antlers over night. The book discusses how she has a hard time getting ready and going through doors with the antlers. She also get hung in her parents chandelier. When her mother sees this she faints and that also continues throughout the story and her father calls the doctor. When the doctor says that he sees nothing wrong, her brother Norman goes searching into the medical books discovering that she is a miniture elk. imogene goes throughout the day helping the maid and cook do chores and also getting sketched for a big hat to cover the anters. After a long day, Imogene goes to bed. When she wakes up she discovers the antlers are gone. But, comes down to breakfast to show what now she has grown. Which is a load of peacock feathers. This is a story that can be read for free time to let the children get a laugh or even when discussing animals. The plot is wonderful and the charecters are halarious. I loved this book and thought is was very entertaining.
An extention idea would be to have each child bring a picture of themselves and have them each choose their fav. animal. Attach the art of the animal to the picture. As in imogene antlers. They each can create their own funny art to themselves. ( )

Genre: Fantasy
Critique: Because the young girl grows antlers in her sleep, and latter peacock feathers, this story is definitely a fantasy. It is not a plausible story at all. Plus, the reactions of the other characters do not fit what happened to the girl.
Setting: The story is set in a very realistic setting of a young girls home and school. This is the only part of the story that is plausible.
