Author and illustrator Luc Melanson pays homage to the grand imaginative powers of children with Topsy-Turvy Town. A small boy sees magic in his earth-toned urban environment: buildings willing to stroll with you, a robot scrubbing his back in the bath, a postman hitching a ride on a cloud. Adults close their eyes to the fantastic potential of the day – except for Mom, who welcomes broccoli rain with a smile as wide as her son’s. Melanson’s peg figures and retro stylings contribute to the playful mood of this picture book, making it a sure hit with preschoolers. mRb
