Here are a few things that sometimes happen:
Happy Things: an unpopular Black Crayon proves to a Little Girl how useful he really is.
Sad Things: on a very hot day, an Ice-Cream Cone waits . . . and waits . . . to be eaten.
Exciting Things: a Papa catches cold, so his Little Boy gets to go to work instead!
These nine very short stories for very young readers—culled from Newbery Honor author Avi's first book and illustrated by Caldecott Honor artist Marjorie Priceman—ingeniously capture the funny, surprising spirit of a child's imagination.
