The Typewriter

(3) K-3 After three kids stumble upon a typewriter, they discover that the act of typing a word ("Beach," "Ball," etc.) summons the object into outsize existence. After they pick the wrong word ("Crab"), one kid has a brainstorm that saves them all. This wordless story, featuring strikingly photorealistic acrylic-paint and colored-pencil illustrations, plays like a one-minute thrill ride.
