Publisher's Note
By the time her mother calls her for dinner, Jennifer has transformed her room into a magical realm in which she flutters on magic wings, waving a magic wand. By the author-illustrator of What If . . .

Industry reviews
From first to final page, this fantasy sustains a whimsical spirit. Initially, Jennifer sits in a cozy brown chair reading a book, and the mood is calm. But Utton's (The Bible Storybook, reviewed below) watercolor images have a slippery quality they shift like changing cloud patterns, or like a child's imagination. As Jennifer grows restless, strange things happen. The soft chair turns into a seated pink elephant; flowers on the wall become thunder clouds and blow away in the wind; Jennifer and the elephant-chair brace themselves against the gale as the teddy bear is bowled over. Despite such curious happenings, Jennifer makes no move to escape the room's metamorphoses are exciting but non-threatening, and Jennifer herself soon sprouts butterfly wings and happily flits ``to the top of the page.'' Conventional details a castle, an open treasure chest, and tropical fish add to the spectacular illusion. Jennifer's mother's call finally breaks the spell, but the elephant waves enthusiastically as Jennifer opens the door to leave. Throughout, Utton's zesty palette matches his playful attitude. Ages 3-7. (Mar.)
Bernstein 

PreS As a small girl sits reading, her imagination takes over and familiar objects in her room are strangely transformed her armchair turns into a baggy elephant; the flowers on her wallpaper become thunderclouds; her lamp grows into a tree; her bed stretches into a bridge; the rug ripples into a magical fish pond; her desk changes into a giant's castle, etc. Jennifer herself becomes a fairy with a magic wand until she hears her mother's call to dinner. With a jolt she comes back to reality...``almost!'' Appealing, softly hued, cartoonlike watercolors illustrate the adequate, rather ordinary text. A pleasant, if slight, fantasy. Sally R. Dow, Ossining Public Library, NY
