But the pencil’s drawings have complaints: “This hat looks silly,” one person says; “My ears are too big,” says another. So the pencil adds . . . an eraser. Soon, however, the eraser is rubbing out everything in sight—and the pencil, to save its world, must figure out how to erase the eraser. Full-color art.

There is blue sea for hunting fish. But there must be something else.’” None of the other penguins share Edna’s curiosity, so she sets off alone to find that something else.

We could watch the pictures appear, then peel off the backs. . . . Our mom gave us notebooks to stick them in.” A brother and sister try to document their trip to the family farm, but when they look at their photographs—of the back of Dad’s head, a green hill, sitting in a chair in the rain—they realize the photos didn’t really capture their whole vacation. What about how it felt to roll down the hill or to listen to all those family stories? Full-color illustrations. A 2008 Charlotte Zolotow Honor Book.
