What a CLEVER, CLEVER story!
Can be read purely for entertainment!
For you see...
Once upon a time there was a pencil school....
and Ms. 2, the teacher, assigned the students to write a story....
Little Red (the red pencil) wanted her story to be a journey through the school.
She had a basket of 15 red word to use, if needed.
So she began...
Read this fun story to find out what happens to Red when she finds herself in the deep, dark, descriptive forest... Or when she uses too many glue words... And when she abandons all rules of punctuation...
But when she decides "to tail a tail to the big bad wolf 3000 (the pencil sharpener)"...Can she save Principal Granny Pencil?
I giggled out loud during this very wonderful book!
I LOVED IT!
The pictures are adorable and add greatly to the story line!
