Pencil and his boy Jackson are a great pair: they draw, they sketch, they scribble. But then Jackson gets Tablet and Pencil finds himself dumped in the dreaded junk drawer; he just can’t compete with Tablet’s videos, games, and movies. How will Pencil ever reclaim Jackson’s attention? With the help of some new pun-loving junk-drawer friends (and a drooling, pencil-chomping dog), Pencil sketches out a plan to draw Jackson back into their friendship. A former educator whose first book was shortlisted for a Crystal Kite award, author Ann Ingalls uses kid-friendly puns and an upbeat tone in this story that celebrates friendship, collaboration, and unplugged fun. Buoyed by award-winning artist Dean Griffith’s always-exuberant illustrations, Pencil: A Story with a Point is a gentle reminder that technology is no match for imagination.

Oh, no! Oh, yuck! Oh, gross! No way!? said Manny Bear, in a very shocked voice. ?Yuck? What do you mean?.YUCK!? the little white rabbit asked in a huffy tone. ?Don't you think I would taste good? What's wrong with me? I am not gross or yuck!? Then realizing it might sound as if she were inviting him to have a taste she changed her mind. In a tiny voice, she said, ?Never mind. I?m sure I must taste just awful anyway.? The little white rabbit sat up and offered her tiny paw to Manny Bear. He took it very gently in his much bigger paw. She said, ?My name is Missy Rabbit and I am very pleased to meet you. Thank you for saving me.? Then they looked at each other and began to laugh all over again. By the time they finished laughing they were the best of friends. They were Forever Friends."
