Reader Views Kids:
“Beverlee Beaz the Brown Burmese” by Regan W.H. Macaulay is about a cat named Beverlee Beaz who
has an active imagination. Beverlee gets out of the house and starts
walking. She sees the trees and the running water, then she sees a
butterfly. The butterfly turns into a parrot from the Amazon rainforest!
Then Beverlee sees a rabbit under a bush, and it becomes a kangaroo
that she chases around. Beverlee trips and lands in the pond where she
sees a frog. The frog then becomes a Komodo dragon! I really like Komodo
dragons, so this one was fun to see in the book. Then Beverlee bumps
into a beehive and the bees start chasing her, but they turn into hungry
Pterodactyls! Last, she sees a unicorn standing in front of her, and it
kind of scares her with its horn so long. After the unicorn helps Beverlee out of trouble, she realizes that it’s not so bad, or a unicorn, after all. Beverlee had a fun but busy day with her imagination.
This was a fun book to read because of all of the interesting animals that Beverlee imagined. I liked all of the animals, and I liked how Beverlee was able to know that the animals weren’t really scary ones like she imaged them to be, but instead they were less scary. I think kids of all ages will like this book – I did, and my three-year-old brother did too.
-- Lydia Dehning, Age 6
A Note from Mom: This
is a very cute book about how your imagination can become very
realistic. It is good that the author was able to show Beverlee
understanding that it was just her imagination while allowing her to
have fun at the times her imagination was taking over, as well. I agree
with Lydia that this is a book for any age with the imaginative choice
of animals, and the beautifully drawn pictures to look at.

This picture book for young readers features Beverelee Beaz, an adventurous cat that bolts out of the house one morning looking for excitement. It’s an average, ordinary day as she wanders past a meadow, some hills, the woods, and a river bank. When she spots an orange and black monarch butterfly, however, her adventure begins. Beverelee imagines the butterfly is a fiery orange parrot from the Amazon rainforest. She then encounters more animals and uses her imagination to create exciting scenes. A rabbit becomes a kangaroo; a frog becomes a Komodo dragon; and angry bees become a flock of hungry Pterodactyls from the Jurassic period. Overwhelmed by her imagination, Beverlee tries to run away, but falls in the process, and is saved by a white unicorn – or is it really a unicorn? Cute watercolor illustrations enhance the book by showing readers the real and pretend characters in the story. The art uses lots of color and intricate details to depict action, excitement, and the magic of imagination. The story teaches children about different animals and reveals the fun of using creative thought to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. Using a comfortable mix of narrative and dialogue, the story should delight young readers, many of whom could use a gentle nudge to create their own fun and excitement beyond their cell phones and video game consoles.
