"Field Guide to the Figments of Persuasion" by Nancy L Vallette is a book that will expand readers' imaginations. Also, readers will most certainly be reminded of their childhood fantasies. The book is also made up of uncolored drawings.

I can remember having an imaginary friend growing up. I always heard that people with an imagination are artist, creators, full of creativity. So, this book sounds fantastic. Great review of the book.

Colorless drawings for creative interpretation are a nostalgic touch that I'm interested to try. The thought of rediscovering childhood creativity and exploring emotions through whimsical explanations seems genuinely lovely. Congrats on BOTD.

While adults have more responsibilities as they grow older, losing the childhood innocence we once had can be very dangerous for our mental health. This book sounds like a great way to relive those memories. Thanks for the review!

Often imagination gets stifled by the struggles we face, knowledge we gained or beliefs we adopted. Children are not hampered by these things and are wonderfully creative. A book that awakens creativity and examines emotions is a great aid. It sounds like the pictures deservr special attention as well.Thank you for the insightful review.

I think the curious mind of a child leads to this creativity. They always want to know things and the reason why things happen as they do. Nancy Vallette's Field Guide to the Figments of Persuasion brings back those creative memories we once had.

I appreciate the author's idea of recreating childhood fantasies, especially the opportunity to colour in the pages if you have the hard copy. However, picture books are not for me, so I'll pass on it.

This book blends creativity with nostalgic adventure. It's like a time machine. There are certain imaginations that as we grow up we tend to put away. But this book brings them back and it's fantastic. It helps the reader to open up to his or her creative instincts. Congratulations on BOTD

This is a book for adults that brings up feelings of childhood nostalgia and improves creativity. It will be a great gift or something to just kill the time with.
