Audrey has the worst case of imaginitis her teachers have ever seen! While other children paint their families, Audrey paints the ogre who lives under her bed drinking tea. Instead of singing about a black sheep, she writes her own song about a desk with legs that runs away. Her alphabet turns into soup. Its clear that her imaginitis is incurable. Whats worse, her condition is contagious and soon the other kids in her class start showing symptoms of an equally incurable imagination! As imaginitis spreads, the teachers are horrified and the parents begin to protest too. But perhaps imagination isnt such a bad disease after all It might even be useful if it makes learning more fun.
