Description
"Relegated to the junk drawer after his boy Jackson becomes enamored with a new tablet, Pencil rallies his fellow tools and office supplies in a pun-punctuated text. Together, they find a creative way to catch Jackson's attention: a flipbook created using their many combined talents."--Tags

OMG, such an horrible mess of a story! Everything seems to happen by random chance, as most of the story is driven by the chaotic neutral Bernese Mountain Dog that pops up three times. Actually, I almost gave the story two stars simply because of the artist's wonderful rendering of the dog. But then I remembered all the godawful puns. So many, many, many, bad, bad, bad puns!
This is the worst picture book my wife and I read in our pencil-themed reading project, and it has killed the project. No more pencil books! Perfect by Max Amato is the only one really worth reading.
