The Pencil

<p><b>“A hilarious and utterly enchanting new classic” <i>The</i> <i>Times</i></b><br><br>A special fifteenth anniversary edition of a modern classic. <i>The Pencil </i>is a playful, witty, wonderfully quirky story about the power of imagination. <br><br>Say hi to Banjo! Once a pencil draws him, there's no telling what will come next – a dog, a cat, a chase (of course), and a paintbrush to colour in an ever-expanding group of family and friends. But it's not long before the complaints begin – "This hat looks silly!" "My ears are too big!" – until the poor pencil has no choice but to draw … a rubber. Oh no! In the hands of Allan Ahlberg and Bruce Ingman, can anything but havoc and hilarity ensue? <br><br><b>"Few picture books today offer such subtle, imaginative, funny, thought-provoking fare" <i>Guardian</i></b><br><b><br>WINNER OF THE RED HOUSE CHILDREN'S BOOK AWARD<br>SHORLISTED FOR THE ROALD DAHL FUNNY PRIZE<br>SHORLISTED FOR THE UKLA BOOK AWARD<br>OVER 150,000 COPIES SOLD <br><br></b>Look out for these other fantastic books by the same author and illustrator:<br>THE RUNAWAY DINNER <br> UNDER THE TABLE<br> PREVIOUSLY</p>
