(4) K-3 A narrating pink eraser is no fan of messes. When a yellow pencil creates visual havoc--its charcoal-gray lines and shadings are the book's only other color--the eraser hides in a pencil-sketched forest. The eraser feels trapped ("I'll never be able to fix all of this!") until it realizes a creative workaround. The book's lessons (accept imperfection, work collaboratively) are unsubtle but worthwhile.
