My kids love this one. An indulgent family explores their son's rooms of his imagination after using them to keep him out of the way during a project.

For whatever reason, I LOVED this book as a kid. Something about that magic toolbox full of every possible opportunity for wish fulfillment. A Small Creatures Garden? Basically a life goal. As an adult, I find this book insubstantial, and one illustration is problematic enough that it would require a conversation about racial stereotyping were I to gift this book to a child (the Food Room page). But I can also totally see why this one would really stick in certain kids' craws--it certainly stuck in mine.
