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.
