I Am a Pencil

(3) K-3 Silly Millies series. Illustrated by Carol Nicklaus & Carol Nicklaus. "I did not start off looking this good. Before I was a pencil, I was just a skinny stick of graphite....Sure, I could write. But I could break, too." A cartoony, anthropomorphized pencil tells the story of how it was created: from graphite mining to manufacturing to ending up in a classroom. The ubiquitous subject, friendly text, and lighthearted illustrations will have lots of appeal for beginning readers.
