Stuart's Cape

The part of the story that I really enjoyed was the part about Aunt Bubbles' angel food cake. On page 24, Aunt Bubbles is upset that someone stole her angel food cake, which was lighter than air. I really liked the imagery here and the play on words. The use of imagination throughout this book was amazing. Children would really enjoy reading this story.

Aunt Bubbles was one of my favorite characters, I loved this part of the book as well.

You know, based on our discussion last Thursday, I realized the book was deeper than I had originally thought. Especially concerning the whole imagination/make-believe thing. I think I'm beginning to like the book more and more.
