Title: Old Memories Without Pictures
Product review: I first heard of this book when my brother was in the seventh grade (I was in third) and had acquired a copy for himself. Two years later, my fifth-grade teacher read the story aloud in class. The interesting part is that he instructed us to use our imagination and draw pictures based on the dream scenes (and the amusement park adventure). After he'd read the story aloud, I procured my brother's copy (by now abandoned) and read the story several times to amuse myself.My only disappointment in the edition I purchased is that, for some reason, the Penguin publishers removed all the illustrations. When I got to read the book on my own, the original pictures helped me get into the story in depth. If the book is re-distributed anytime soon, the original illustrations would be greatly appreciated.
