Supposing

About this title

Review:

A 1960 text from Reid is paired to all-new illustrations from Gill that realize one child s beguiling hypotheses....And so it goes, supposition after childlike supposition, against scribbly, mostly black-and-white drawings with just a few strategic touches of color....As fascination with cause and effect is a classic phase of childhood, this book would seem to have a natural place in both bedrooms and classrooms... --Kirkus Reviews

There s an understated but fitting whimsy in Gill s artwork. --Publishers Weekly

A thought-provoking book about imaginative possibilities... leaving the reader to explore his/ her own imagination about what would happen in all these different situations. --Angels and Urchins
