Think of all the things we could get away with if nobody could see us! But how long would the fun last, if we had to do it all alone?
If I were invisible I wonder what I would do? ...
Stay in the garden where no-one could stop you and call you in for tea? Not tidy your room, leave it messy as you'd have more time to play? Stay up late till you felt sleepy? Live on chocolate bars? Wear anything you wanted, you'd never go to school? Never take a shower?
What better way to engage children in a book than to capture their imagination and, my goodness! this certainly captured the imagination.
Written in rhyme with fun with bold illustrations ... I thought it wonderful that whilst the main character was white with blonde hair, his friends were depicted with different skin and hair colours and one was even in a wheelchair.
A fun read for older readers and easy enough to join in with for younger, less confident readers. If I Were Invisible saw the book worms enjoying most of the options given as to what one might do if they were invisible {the living on chocolate bars not surprisingly proving one of the most popular} and afterwards come up with some ideas of their own which provided much laughter.
Most of all though were the countless opportunities to explore whether there were any downsides to being invisible, of whether we'd miss our family, our friends; of what it really would be like if being invisible never ends, that whether that something that seemed fun at the time might not be so much fun after a while.
She has poetry, short stories, and creative non-fiction published in anthologies and online in addition to her poetry books ...
