About this product
Product Information
"Clever and suspenseful, a surefire delight." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) Once a pencil draws a little boy, there's no telling what will come next -- a dog, a cat, a chase (of course), and a paintbrush to color in an ever-expanding group of family and friends. But it's not long before the complaints begin -- "This hat looks silly " "My ears are too big " -- until the poor pencil has no choice but to draw . . . an eraser. Oh, no In the hands of Allan Ahlberg and Bruce Ingman, creators of The Runaway Dinner and Previously, can anything but havoc and hilarity ensue?

Reviews
Clever and suspenseful...surefire delight. --Publishers Weekly (starred review) There are deep resonances here of world creation myths and the power of artistic expression... free-wheeling faux-childlike illustrations ... a thought-provoking model of conflict resolution. But really, this wry, madcap, loving story is for everyone who thinks that of course a boiled egg should be called Billy or who wants to hear the tale repeatedly so as to shout "OUT!" louder each time. --The Horn Book (starred review) Inspire some creative world-building in budding artists. --Kirkus Reviews Ahlberg's matter-of-fact, curiously specific storytelling has a weirdly appealing blend of absurdity and homey charm. --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books The Pencil is wildly inventive, deliciously high-concept and simmering with dramatic tension. (Who could have imagined sweat beads flying off a nervous pencil would be so believable?) --San Francisco Chronicle online Both clever and suspenseful, this surefire delight tells the story of a pencil who must deal with the consequences of his inventions...The book's comical unexpected plot and wry narrator keep the story fresh throughout. --San Francisco Examiner A definite winner from the team that created The Runaway Dinner. The combination of humorous text, quirky drawn out writing style, and clever illustrations all point to another runaway hit! --For Immediate Release Reviews...Kids Ahlberg's playful, abundant imagination is made visible in Ingman's wryly personified illustrations. --The Star.com ALL of the characters in this book get names -- even the ants. And it's a GEM of a read-aloud! --Shelftalker (PW blog)
