Title: A magical book
Review: Both my son (now 24) and I found this book so entrancing that it has become a standard baby gift, even though children probably can't follow it until they're four or five - they will love it for years. Since we might not remember all those babies later, we want to be sure they don't miss "The Wreck of the Zephyr"!Even among Chris Van Allsburg's outstanding books, the magic of this one stood out for us. Other favorites were "Jumanji" and "The Polar Express". We thought Van Allsburg's books lost some imaginative steam when he turned to "messages" about things like pollution in the late 1980s. And then, of course, my son grew up so I've not read more recent books. These three books should be part of every child's life. Being able to imagine and dream do more than enrich our experiences; they are also the stuff of which medical breakthroughs, inventions, new business ideas and future wonderful books are made.
