This action-adventure picture book featuring a grandfather and
grandson duo celebrates the power of imagination and the magic of make
believe.
Charlie loves when Grandpa comes to babysit because he always brings his
magical imagination. Grandpa was a magician who knows the most amazing
tricks; he can pull a rabbit from a hat and make a coin disappear. But
what Charlie loves most are his wonderful adventure stories, and they
all begin with something his grandfather has saved in his Magic Story
Chest. An hourglass is a reminder of how he defended the treasure in
King Tut's tomb from raiders. A long white scarf inspires the story
about Grandpa's dogfight with the notorious Red Baron, the great First
World War fighter pilot. A coconut shell heralds the story about his
encounter with a nasty Tyrannosaurus Rex. Charlie's parents, though,
aren't too sure they like Grandpa's stories and warn Charlie that
they're just tall tales. What is Charlie to believe? How can his grandpa
convince him that all you need to do is believe and a dream can be
turned into something real?
