Zia, a young brown skinned girl, has a hole in her pocket. The hole gets so big that Zia falls into it herself. From here, her imagination runs wild and the hole gets filled with everything from candy to elephants. The hole also becomes a swimming hole, a really long tunnel, and more. Zia’s imagination is never ending and this story is just fun. The mixed media illustrations are full of color and life and really help carry the story. They bring all the imaginative adventures to life and add context. The text flows well and is filled with small word plays and puns that will keep adult readers engaged and mildly entertained.

Recommended for readers 4 and up. Reviewed by Jessie Trafton, Skidompha Library, Damariscotta, ME
