We just found this really great book when we stopped by the library tonight. My four-year-old son loves it already and so do I. Nathaniel looked through the book before I read it to him and was already mesmerized by the story, just from the pictures. It's about a young boy who loves to have adventures with his action figure "Guy." They play together on a tall, narrow staircase that becomes mountains, and forests, and cities...The pictures are done in a photo-collage style and are so fun to look at. We get to see the wonderful imagination of the little boy through the beautiful images that Nina Crews created. The shadows of trees and skyrises magically merge with the "ordinary" staircase. Jack loses Guy in a hole in the stairs, but figures out a way to save his little friend all by himself. It is really sweet. The best part was watching Nathaniel become so concerned about the little toy and so interested in the adventure.
