I did think this was a creative book with lots of adventure but I don’t think that it’s written for a middle grade audience. The vocabulary is to big for younger kids and some of the ideas I think would be missed. I loved the idea that everyone should have an imagination, and that imagination should be used no matter what age you are.

I love tales like this! So much imagination and love the magical characters in it. When a new nanny arrives in the nursery, the imaginary creatures all band together to protect the little human boy, Bingo. Its a sweet fantasy tale for grade schoolers, tho' I imagine the vocabulary will throw a few curved balls their way! They should keep a dictionary handy. But seriously, I think any age will enjoy the tale; took me right back to my childhood. Great story!

What a wonderful story to read!

I loved how the story was told by Thursby, while in a lecture on figmentation. And I loved the story itself, the imaginary heroes and their adventures while trying to save the little boy, going further beyond their own strength!

This is a great book to read-aloud from at story time or bedtime. There is so much happening that is both fun and exciting that little things can be missed for young readers. I loved the different characters and how they work together to solve conflicts.

Really cute juvenile fiction book reminiscent of The Borrowers with cute imaginary creatures. Starts off a little slow but was very enjoyable.

If you are going to read this book, if may help to enjoy the scientific field of Figmentology.

I found myself drawn to the characters, knowing in advance that imaginary beings have imaginations.

This book is a well written family read that allows all to travel along on the journey where imagination and creativity combine to amuse all.

The story of The Cozies is told by Thursby - a five inch tall elegantly dressed imaginary figment with a head like a lop-eared rabbit - to a lecture hall of people with illustrated figures to assist his storytelling. It is a heartwarming tale of six nursery figments of imagination, a little boy nicknamed Bingo, Bingo's great-grandfather, whom they call Augie and the troubling events that happen when the family hires a new Nanny, Agnes. To keep this spoiler free, the six imaginary beings - Thursby, Musetta, Gubbins, Rumple, Gracie and Ruby - have to figure out if and how they can help fix the real world trouble.

It was great that these very different figments all had different appearances and personalities depending on what had inspired the child that imagined them. It was also an interesting plot with the 'trouble' that needed fixing being the main focus and the limitations of the Cozies being the additional problem they need to overcome.

The layout of this book was fun to read - lunch breaks and people sneaking into the lecture interrupting Thursby's story - as it added a degree of suspense to the story though I feel it was done a few too many times during the short novel. Otherwise, The Cozies is a well-written story that would be a great book to read to children or for children that like reading chapter books, but it is also quite enjoyable to read as an adult.

Wonderful juvenile fiction! Sweet and imaginative story that will be enjoyed by the whole family.
