Think of all the things we could get away with if nobody could see us! But how long would the fun last, if we had to do it all alone?
If I were invisible I wonder what I would do? ...
Stay in the garden where no-one could stop you and call you in for tea? Not tidy your room, leave it messy as you'd have more time to play? Stay up late till you felt sleepy? Live on chocolate bars? Wear anything you wanted, you'd never go to school? Never take a shower?
What better way to engage children in a book than to capture their imagination and, my goodness! this certainly captured the imagination.
Written in rhyme with fun with bold illustrations ... I thought it wonderful that whilst the main character was white with blonde hair, his friends were depicted with different skin and hair colours and one was even in a wheelchair.
A fun read for older readers and easy enough to join in with for younger, less confident readers. If I Were Invisible saw the book worms enjoying most of the options given as to what one might do if they were invisible {the living on chocolate bars not surprisingly proving one of the most popular} and afterwards come up with some ideas of their own which provided much laughter.
Most of all though were the countless opportunities to explore whether there were any downsides to being invisible, of whether we'd miss our family, our friends; of what it really would be like if being invisible never ends, that whether that something that seemed fun at the time might not be so much fun after a while.

What fun. I have been reading some illustrated books this month too. This looks like a lot of fun too.

So glad to share the day with you on this tour, my friend! This was such a lovely book, and I agree with your thoughts as well. It's fun to imagine, but the reality may not quite add up at times!
This sounds like an interesting premise. Perhaps it would be more fun to just be invisible when we wanted to be, but not all the time.
Just dropped by to say hi and I will be back as I do like what I found here. Being invisible would be cool at times and not so much at other times
Felicity,
This sounds like a fun, delightful
and imaginative book. And the theme
of being invisible offers much food
for thought.

Aww, sounds adorable 💜
