Review The magic of this book is really in its illustrations and the sense of wonder that they create. The story-line itself is rather sparse, but that adds to its charm a bit, too. It could easily be a jumping off point for the further adventures of Beekle and his new friend (Flock, 2017). Themes Friendship, Adventure, Imagination, Imaginary Friends Application Parents and teachers could encourage children to fill-in the adventures that the two characters have. It could also just be a simple lesson about how you have to be brave sometimes to make new friends. Read-alikes Stead, P.C. (2014). Sebastian and the Balloon. Schmid, P. (2014). Oliver and His Egg.
