Recently my mum handed over a stack of my old childrens books that we thought would be nice to now read to my kids.
I came across one which i remember liking, mostly due to the novelty cover. It's called "The Explorer" and is about a boy who pretends to be an explorer and gets into all sorts of adventures. It's not so light-hearted though and seems to set out to bring down kids who let their imagination get the better of them. Take this extract for example....
After a few days in bed, the doctor advised him: "Listen to me well, Peter. We should let imagination be a friend but reality our guide. Because when fantasy prevails over reason, it can be the beginning of mental sickmess...."
Yep, that book just got tossed in the bin. Don't want to have to explain mental health issues to a 3yr old.
