These pictures, of the faceless boy-child pretending to be all these "tough guys" is very charming and well made. A pirate (with a pirate head scarf and an eye patch, dragging a huge shovel) A biker (he has a bicycle, but he is dressed in a leather vest and a bandanna is tied around his head, he also has a handkerchief tied above his knee) A knight (he has crafted a knights helmet and armor and sword from cardboard) A spaceman (I'd say astronaut but the spaceman outfit is red and blue and quite different than what NASA puts out) who is crouching down to smell a yellow flower We first open with the opening end pages, in which we see a little boy (8) who is pretending to be all sorts of different people: I have conflicted feelings about this book.
