What's Pretend?

"What's Pretend?" is a charming and interactive picture book that introduces young children to the concept of imaginative play. Scooter, a friendly pig, guides his pal, who has never heard of "let's pretend," through various scenarios. From playing school to imagining a kitchen full of alligators, the book uses simple text and engaging lift-the-flaps to illustrate how make-believe works. It's perfect for preschoolers and early elementary children (ages 4-7) to spark creativity, encourage social play, and help them understand the difference between reality and imagination in a gentle, fun way.

Just by pretending, Scooter can be anything or do anything he wants. That's the great thing about make-believe. But Scooter's pal has never heard of "let's pretend," so the friendly pig plans to show him exactly what it means. Together, they play schoolhouse, with Scooter as the teacher (open the flap to find it's coloring time in the classroom). Is TV pretend? Sometimes, Scooter thinks, and sometimes not; flip the three small colorful flaps to see when. And just imagine a kitchen turning into a home for alligators and crocodiles. The perfect story to send children on inventive flights of fancy.
