Red Wagon by Renata Lewski (2011, Philomel) has soft illustrations of a child-like fox (Lucy) with a new red wagon. Before playtime begins, however, Lucy must run an errand for her mother. As Lucy and her friends head to the market with the red wagon, they have a number of imaginative adventures, all shown through the fantastic illustrations.
Lucy’s trip to the market was a reminder of the fun that we can find as we do ordinary things – with an imagination, of course! I loved this book both because of the gorgeous illustrations but also because of the imagination the illustrations encourage. My son (age 4) and I read it many times.
