review:
'Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings' by Edward McLachlan is a collection of four picture books that went on the be the basis for an animated series on PBS and Nickelodeon.
Simon is a young artist, but he doesn't seem to finish his drawings. One day on his way to school, one of his drawings offers him a deal: finish the drawing Simon has made of him, and in return, he will take Simon to somewhere special. Simon finds himself in a land full of not quite finished drawings and spends his time finishing railroad tracks for the train or adding ears to an elephant. In later adventures, Simon returns to face an army and a dinosaur. He also builds a rocket and has adventures in space.
The stories are black and white until Simon enters the special land, then everything is full of color. The stories are fun and show what a child with some chalk and imagination can do. I like the inventiveness.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Dover Publications and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
