BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ESSENTIAL
APPEALS TO: MANY
In this wordless picture book, colored pencil shavings become a tree, then many trees and then a forest, with animals. But when the trees are cut and taken to a factory and made into colored pencils, a little girl knows just what to do.
Gorgeous, and special. When you read Pencil, you may get a different story. I love how the author left instructions for reading a silent book at the end - I would have put it at the beginning. What will this story tell you? Because Pencil was originally published in Korea, I would infer that the little girl is also Korean.
