On one very special day an imaginary friend is born on an island far away. Here, he and his other imaginary friends play all day and each night they sit beneath the stars, hoping and waiting for their turn to be picked, to be imagined, by a real child. But this particular imaginary friend waits and waits, and still no child imagines him. So he does the unimaginable – he sets off into the real world. Once there, he searches so long that he is just about to give up, when a shy, bookish girl named Alice meets him. Gradually they discover they are perfect for each other… and Alice has the perfect name for her imaginary friend: Beekle.

I loved the first page because I liked the pictures and I like the silly drum and monster.
I read this book to my family. I liked it, I thought the grown ups in the real world looked really bored. I liked that they found each other and were friends.
This is a nice story about imaginary friends. It was a good book
He made friends with a girl, named Alice,
A lovely gentle book with a couple of moral messages. It’s about an imaginary friend called Beekle who hasn’t yet found his child ‘owner’. It firstly suggests we should go out and look for what we want, instead of sitting round and waiting for things to happen. It also strongly gives the message that children having imaginary friends is a good thing, it can help them to be creative and ultimately could give them the confidence to make friends with other children. A lovely book for children aged 5-8.
I’m glad beekle found a Friend in the end.
I liked how brave Beekle was.
I loved beekle

It was ok but not the best book I would recommend it for others as it was interesting
It's an interesting book and it's got soft words.
Very cute. We all need an imaginary friend.
