Review: A Fun and Imaginative Book - The Pencil is certainly an imaginative book! I bought this for our 5 year old daughter and we have had so much fun reading it. It is such a novel idea for a story. It has the same premise as Harold and the Purple Crayon, but in this story it is the pencil that draws his world around him. There is a lot more going on in this book than any of the Harold books we have read. We enjoy the pencil's adventures, the unique names and his problem solving skills. The illustrations are wonderfully interesting and have a lot of detail to explore from page to page. I am very happy that I stumbled upon this book. It has been a great addition to our children's book collection.
Review: Such a great story - This book is outstanding and an excellent resource for teach in g several different concepts. I especially like that the story is short, but has a powerful message. The illustrations are great too; simple but well drawn.
