## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mesmerizing, intriguing pictures that give flight to one's imagination
*by Z***S on December 4, 2011*

I've been a long-time fan of Chris Van Allsburg's works, and have been sharing his books with my first grader. This is one of our favorites, as each browsing gives us a chance to come up with our own storyline and enables our imaginations to take flight.The book contains fourteen pictures, with captions attached to each. Now these are not ordinary pictures, but feature something out of the ordinary, with equally mysterious captions that make one wonder at the various possibilities for a story! For example, one of my favorite pictures features a young girl sound asleep with a vine creeping out of a book with the title "Mr. Linden's Library" and the caption "He had warned her about the book. Now it was too late." I confess that my imagination took a macabre turn here! My first grader on the other hand imagined something along the lines of Jack (or Jill in this case) and the Beanstalk with the girl waking up and finding a tree growing in her room and going off on an adventure not unlike Jack/Jill.I've also used this book with my students, and they absolutely love the chance to create a story and come up with their own interpretations. Another charm of this book is that the pictures can be used to imagine stories of various genres such as science fiction, horror, mystery, adventure, fantasy, etc. This is a treasure trove of ideas, a great educational resource, and a wonderful way to keep one's brain meaningfully engaged!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspirational for all Your Creative Writing Desires
*by J***H on December 23, 2011*

I have always admired Chris Van Allsburg's picture books. From the festive "Polar Express" to the evocative "Jumanji," they all inspire the reader with simple language and rich lush illustration."The Mysteries of Harris Burdick" is no exception. Here are 14 unrelated pictures with 14 unrelated titles and attention grabbing sentences. One shows a pirate ship, another a house rocketing off into space, and still another a woman falling asleep reading a book that has suddenly become alive.A recent edition has come out with short stories attached by the author as well as other writers like Louis Sachar and Stephen King, but I think the portfolio edition should satisfy all your inspirational story crafting needs. This book is great grist for the mind mill. It will have you thinking and guessing what next long after the final page is turned.So whether you're a creative writer or a teacher at any level of writing or even art (I know all my teachers and friends just couldn't get enough of this) you'll want to check this book out. Also, be sure to buy the portfolio edition which includes an extra 15th drawing tying it to one of the others in the collection.Again, great stories come from the molten core of the imagination, and great pictures to supplement them and get the mind going are always welcome.Happy writing and good luck!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Creative writing for upper elementary
*by K***U on June 28, 2024*

I use this in my 4 th grade classroom for Friday creative writing. Each page is an unusual illustration with a title and 1-2 sentences. My students look at the picture, copy the title and finish the story. The illustrations are unusual and even my reluctant writers enjoy this book. Their favorite is the house that lifts off like a spaceship.The author is Chris Van Alsburg.
