(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Ellen Beier. In this sequel to The Chalk Box Kid, Gregory paints an elderly neighbor's home. Featuring pictures from Uncle Pancho's past as well as a fantasy portrait of Pancho with his long-missing adult son, the house begins to attract media attention, but the city still plans to tear it down. The conclusion is realistic--satisfying, yet containing some unresolved conflict. The simply written text is illustrated with dated-looking artwork.
