by Avi; Marjorie Priceman (Illustrator)
Celebrate the publication of a fresh picture-book version of acclaimed author Avi's first book! The nine most captivating stories have been selected from the original book's 30, allowing plenty of room for Priceman's brilliant, playful illustrations. Full color.
Summary
Here are a few things that sometimes happen:
HAPPY THINGS
An unpopular Black Crayon proves to a Little Girl how useful he really is.
SAD THINGS
On a very hot day, an Ice-Cream Cone waits...and waits...to be eaten.
EXCITING THINGS
A Papa catches cold, so his Little Boy gets to go to work instead!
These nine very short stories for very young readers -- culled from Newbery Honor author Avi's first book and illustrated by Caldecott Honor artist Marjorie Priceman -- ingeniously capture the funny, surprising spirit of a child's imagination.
