Have you ever thought about where that pencil you just picked up came from? Stubby tells the story from his own point of view, from his life as a tree to meeting nine new friends at the pencil factory after his time at the timber mill. All of this is nothing compared to what happens once Barbara Ann Brown buys his box of pencils and takes him to school. That’s where things really get wild!
This is a perfect book for those kids that love to see how things are made. It provides a broader view to students as they see how things move in the world and school around them.
Ages 3-8
