Summary: Clara is a very imaginative girl. it's time for Clara to go to bed, but her friend Asha comes to visit and play. Clara recounts the story of how they "met". (Asha is an imaginary fish). Clara tells about all the fun they've had together at the park, in the woods and even at Clara's house. The story then continues to tell of their adventure that night. But Clara's mom insists it's bedtime. They say goodnight, but another friend comes to play...

Problems:Clara doesn't obey her mother.

Reaction: This is a very neat book! Being an art major I was 'drawn' :) to the beautiful illustrations. The story is very imaginative and fun and encourages children to be more creative and imaginative.

Recommendation: I would recommend this book to those who love art firstly. And also all those wishing to encourage and inspire children to be creative and imaginative.
