Supposing I read a book about how to change into animals and said a spell and changed myself into a cat and when I climbed on the book to change myself back I found I couldn't read. . . Supposing I had a twin brother but we never told anyone and only went to school half the time each. . . Supposing a very beautiful lady fell in love with me and wanted me to marry her but I just yawned and said Maybe . . .
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
