Stewart and his favorite pen, Craig do everything together - draw and write everything together, go everywhere together. That is, until one day Craig is gone! He searches for the pen everywhere. Dad even offers to let Stewart borrow his own pencil. Stewart is sad and misses Craig.
This is a delightful story about friendship and favorite writing tools. I can identify with this story, as I, too, have a favorite pencil. My students will remember that I need “my purple pencil” when help is needed. Cute story. I liked it. The illustrations emphasize the story and help put feelings into it.
