"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?
