What a glorious adventure Mimi has at the dinner table where she climbs a tree (or broccoli stalk) on top of a white pebble hill (or bowl of rice) to see a far-off lake (or vegetable soup). The child's imagination goes wild during an otherwise routine dinner, and both the author and the illustrator have remarkably left plenty of room for interpretation on the part of individual readers. Come and get it! (Ages 4-8)

A young girl takes an imaginary journey through the various foods on her family's dinner table, where noodle soup becomes a warm lake with snakes and a roast chicken becomes a golden mountain.
