The Pencil

By Allan Ahlberg

Illustrated by Bruce Ingman

When a pencil draws a rubber, a battle of wits ensues!

A pencil draws a boy, a dog, a cat and a whole world for them to play in. Then the pencil draws a brush, and the brush adds colour to everything. Everyone is very happy, until the pencil draws a rubber … which begins rubbing everything out!

Reviews

'Ahlberg is a creative genius...Ingman's wonderfully expressive childlike illustrations are the perfect match.' Glasgow Herald

'What better way to introduce older children to the creative process, the power of imagination and some interesting questions: what would have happened if the rubber had won? Where would we be without stories?' Nursery World
