The Typewriter by Bill Thomson**

-Wordless book

 I highly, highly recommend this book simply because Mr. Thomson is an incredible artist.  The illustrations look like photographs.  In fact, my eleven-year-old son asked while we were reading it together if the illustrations were produced on the computer or computer -generated.  It was amusing that on the copyright page Mr. Thomson clarifies that the illustrations "are not photographs or computer-generated images"!!

Three children discover an old typewriter on a bumblebee ride on a carousel.  Whatever word they type on it, the object comes to life.  They have fun and must use their creativity as they problem solve.

**Highly, highly recommend.

Mr. Thomson has illustrated/created similar books-Chalk and Fossil.

-Borrowed from the library.
