Review: Imagine

Imagine by John Lennon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was a bit disappointed in this book, too. I couldn't help looking at the illustrations and thinking about the book Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!. Yes, it is a lovely song and I truly like it, but it isn't realistic to think the world, especially the animal world, could live like this. Birds eat the fish; they don't stop squabbling over it and take up an olive branch. Large birds eat smaller birds; they don't sit on telephone wires together and link wings in friendship. Somehow, instead of birds, I would rather have seen people, trying to live together in peace, building components of society together.
