Things That Sometimes Happen: Very Short Stories for Little Listeners

1970, Doubleday
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Marjorie Priceman. Priceman's whimsical, swooping illustrations perfectly suit the nonsense stories in this new picture book edition of Avi's first book. The nine silly tales include one about a black crayon who tells a little girl how to use him more in her drawings, a story about a melting ice-cream cone, and a story about children accidentally digging a tunnel to the top of the Empire State Building.
