Who is Elijah talking to?
Elijah's mother wonders.
She follows quietly to check what Elijah and Madison are doing.

Elijah is talking to a Rex!
He has an imaginary friend.
When his mother finds it out, they talk about how fun Rex is and whether Rex can come to Elijah's birthday party.

As a dinosaur fan, Sabio was captivated with this story and its vibrant illustrations. He listened seriously. And he also answered the questions promptly.

"Do you have an invisible friend?"
"No. I just do a pretend play, Mom."


You know serendipity is real.

When Sabio starts to talk alone. Mom is wondering casually, is it a little too late for him to have an imaginary friend? But, it is cute if he really has one. Or..., is he talking to a ghost? Err.....it wouldn't be cute. Is he just playing a pretend play by himself?
.
Mom asks him several times. Sometimes he just smile shyly and sometimes he gives a random answer, for example that there were a little boy at the corner of our bathroom 😬. (Don't ask mom how embarrassed and afraid she is, every time she needs to go to the bathroom).
.
And then, @laurensimonepubs give us a copy of this book!

What a perfect timing!
Thank you very much! It's really helpful! 💕

PS: The book also has a Discussion, a Fun Facts, and a Vocabulary page.


Kepada siapa Elia berbicara?
Ibu Elia bertanya-tanya.
Dia mengikuti dengan tenang untuk memeriksa apa yang sedang dilakukan Elia dan Madison.

Elia berbicara dengan Rex!
Dia punya teman imajiner.
Ketika ibunya mengetahuinya, mereka berbicara tentang betapa menyenangkannya Rex dan apakah Rex bisa datang ke pesta ulang tahun Elia.

Sebagai penggemar dinosaurus, Sabio terpikat dengan cerita ini dan ilustrasi yang hidup. Dia mendengarkan dengan serius. Dan dia juga menjawab pertanyaan dengan segera.

"Apakah kamu punya teman yang tidak terlihat?"
"Tidak. Aku hanya bermain sandiwara, Bu."


Anda tahu kebetulan itu nyata.

Ketika Sabio mulai berbicara sendiri. Ibu bertanya-tanya dengan santai, apakah sudah sedikit terlambat baginya untuk memiliki teman imajiner? Tapi, itu lucu jika dia benar-benar memilikinya. Atau ..., apakah dia berbicara dengan hantu? Err ..... itu tidak lucu. Apakah dia hanya memainkan permainan pura-pura sendiri?

Ibu bertanya kepadanya beberapa kali. Terkadang dia hanya tersenyum malu-malu dan terkadang dia memberikan jawaban acak, misalnya ada anak laki-laki di sudut kamar mandi kami 😬. (Jangan tanya ibu seberapa malu dan takutnya dia, setiap kali dia perlu ke kamar mandi).

Dan kemudian, @laurensimonepubs memberi kami e-book buku ini!

Waktu yang sempurna!
Terima kasih banyak! Ini sangat membantu! 💕

PS: Buku ini juga memiliki Diskusi, Fakta Menarik, dan halaman Kosakata.
