About book The Little Red Pen (2011)

The Little Red Pen is determined to grade all the papers stacked on the desk, but the rest of the office supplies are too afraid to come out of the desk drawer. Only a catastrophe--Little Red Pen falls into the "Pit of No Return"--brings scissors, eraser, pencil, ruler, stapler, and the rest out of hiding to keep the sky from falling and the world from ending. If they can just quit arguing and work together, they might get those papers graded after all. Now why couldn't my office supplies have been that helpful? It was so exciting to visit a 4th grade class during Reading Week on November. I brought a few books but I only read this one because it's fairly long but so amusing for 9 year olds! It was great to get such a good reaction from the kids about the book...they laughed in all the right places! Definitely the type of title that works best for older kids because they have to be in school to understand the humor.
