Mehrdokht AminiA Princess"Nimesh is a young boy with a huge imagination. He takes readers through what appears to be a normal day: going to school, walking home, and gazing into the shop windows. But Nimesh's day is anything but normal. His walk down the hall at school turns into an underwater adventure swimming with sharks. His classroom teacher is a snoozing dragon wearing great little red Mary Jane shoes. Nimesh continues his stroll through his day; at every turn, readers experience a world of color, vivid images, and fun. Amini's mixed-media illustrations are wonderful works of art that make Nimesh's imaginary visions come to life with great attention to detail. VERDICT Readers will love the brilliant visuals that accompany Nimesh on his imaginary trek. A fun choice for one-on-one and small group read-alouds."―School Library Journal View Folio
