When Pencil Met Eraser

Oh my goodness. A story that LOVES the differences between Pencils and Erasers. I mean, to Pencil, it just seemed like the Eraser was getting in his way. But then he learned all of the ways an Eraser could compliment him (especially when it comes to mazes ;)

I can't stand a pencil without a good eraser!

I want to use this book with kids. Talking about art yes, but talking about how we need people of ALL types.

Somehow we keep finding more of these pencil and eraser books. This one is pretty good for the genre, if a little standard, as pencil and eraser first find and then find common ground. Nice art and energy.

This is a super cute book. I think there is a lot of places for interjection here to talk to kids and get feed back during the story. This pencil did not like eraser and did not like the fact it was different or changed what he did. In the end though this pencil saw the different perspectives from the eraser and ended up wanting to stick together.

Pencil is irritated that eraser is constantly changing his drawings. However, eraser is persistent. This is a funny book on how we can learn from others. This books teaches friendship and confidence.

Fun story to read and well illustrated!
