<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Evan uses his imagination and a few crayons to create new and exciting art.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Snap! Scritch! Whoosh! There goes another crayon! <p/>What could be more perfect than a brand new set of crayons? Evan can't wait to use them, until Snap!, the brown one breaks in two. Then one by one, the others break, get crushed, are blown away, or simply disappear. How can he possibly draw when there's no green, purple, or even black? <p/>Evan feels like throwing things, but instead, he scribbles using all the bits and pieces that are left. But what's this? Where yellow and blue cross, there's green, and when blue and red get all mixed up, it creates just the right purple to draw monsters. Soon, all he's left with are tiny stubs of red, yellow, and blue, but Evan discovers that even with just a few crayons, he can create new and exciting art¬--his imagination is the only tool he needs. <p/>The winning combination of Hazel Hutchins's lively text and Dusan Petricic's ingenious illustrations make this a wonderful addition to every young child's library.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><br>"A beautifully humorous ode to both pragmatism and imagination."<br>--Kirkus Reviews, *starred review, 07/15/15 <p/>"This gently affirming book ... offers an important message ..."<br>--Booklist, 11/01/15 <p/>"A sweet story to pair with other artistic titles in storytime ..."<br>--School Library Journal, 11/15 <p/>"... a delightful book."<br>--Quill &?Quire, 10/15 <p/>"The illustrations are just perfect for the story.
