Linus The Little Yellow Pencil

“Humor shines through as puns punctuate the pages, which are also filled with expressive and energetic drawings. This book has an important message to embrace the creative process, wrapped up in the package of one punny picture book.”–School Library Journal
“Magoon’s digital artwork uses scanned paper textures manipulated in Photoshop, with color used masterfully–the result emphasizes the different looks achieved by using the various art supplies. The simple but expressive faces on the implements are standouts. Magoon gets his message across: Be the best you can be.”–Kirkus Reviews
“The narrative is packed with art-related puns (“bristling with envy”; “brush aside”; “drawn to the very edge”; “Go, get that lead out”), and the digitally created illustrations are filled with movement and color. The idea of the two ends of the same pencil learning to get along will appeal to children as they watch what the pair are able to create together with a bit of cooperation.“–Booklist
