A little boy can't fly like a bird, but he can walk like a cat and take a bath-and-nap like Pearl the Pig. He can hop like a rabbit and wriggle like a snake—there are endless things he can do.

But when Dad calls, he finds that the most fun of all is being "Just Me"—as together they go to sea on the pond at the end of the cornfield.

Not since In the Forest and Another Day has a book so perfectly caught the pleasure of a real little boy's imaginative play.
