I hate being the naysayer, but I think I liked the idea of this book more than I actually liked the book. I love the song and I love the message behind it, and I appreciate what they were trying to achieve with this book, but I think it just fell short. There wasn't anything particularly wrong with this book, but I felt like the lyrics to Imagine work much better in song format than they do in a picture book. I actually think the forward by Yoko Ono Lennon was the best part of the book.
The bold, colorful illustrations are appealing. I enjoyed seeing Pigeon's story told though the pictures, and how it corresponded with the lyrics. (Actually, I "read" the book a second time, just looking at the illustrations, and I think I liked the story and book more when I wasn't reading the text with it. It's a sweet, happy story.) I also love that a portion of the book's proceeds will go to Amnesty International. But, all that said, I think Imagine will appeal more to Beatles fans than young readers.
