I Have a Friend — Judith Inglese

I Have A Friend is the story of Henry and his imaginary friend, Vladimir, who leads the way to adventure. Vladimir is from Iceland, but sometimes he lives right next door. He flies a plane, a hot air balloon and drives a tractor. His forklift is so powerful, it can even pick up a 60-pound turkey! He has a rabbit named RABBIT and a talking bird named Charlie who can say Pound Cake and Charlie Bird. His dog, Hoss, can run as fast as a car, and he isn't even afraid of thunder. � In the story, big and small, and old and young are fluid concepts. Judith Inglese, award-winning artist and illustrator, was inspired by the storytelling of her three-year-old grandchild who had a fanciful friend named Vladimir. She has complemented her tale with simple collage illustrations that are visually appealing to young children and are as creative as Henry's imagination. For ages 3-6 years.
