Eraser

Product Description Winner of the Christopher Award Eraser is always cleaning up everyone else’s mistakes. Except for Ruler and Pencil Sharpener, none of the other school supplies seem to appreciate her. They all love how sharp Pencil is and how Tape and Glue help everyone stick together. Eraser wants to create so that she can shine like the others. She decides to give it a try, but it’s not until the rubber meets the road that Eraser begins to understand a whole lot about herself. Inspired by a school essay their daughter Kate wrote in the third grade, the author and illustrator behind Theodor Seuss Geisel Award–winner You Are (Not) Small have created a desktop drama about figuring out who you are, finding happiness, and the importance of second, third, and maybe even fourth chances. Review “Kang tells a good, pun-filled story, and Weyant’s anthropomorphic school supplies are both enjoyable and emotive…The book will find a loving home among readers who like a softer tone. A sweet parable on cooperation.” —Kirkus Reviews “Finally, the mighty Eraser gets her own book and distinctive voice in this desktop drama…Puns abound in the clever writing. The lively and expressive cartoon characters’ features and figures are done in ink, watercolor, and brush pens, which animate their pedestrian functions into art. Fun for kids who spend important learning time with these objects.” —Booklist “A delightful picture book that emboldens readers to embrace mistakes and elevates the eraser to hero status. A fun addition for storytimes and classroom read-alouds.” —School Library Journal “Without being heavy on message, this book provides a fun way to think about appreciating differences and recognizing different kinds of talents—as well as some entertaining bibliotherapy for perfectionists.” —Youth Services Book Review “Eraser is a must-read-aloud for #classroombookaday because it will support building a classroom community among students.” —Beagles and Books “A big-hearted picture book full of amusing puns, delightful characters, lively illustrations, and important lessons.” —Word Spelunking “I love how Eraser shows kids that everyone makes mistakes, and we all deserve another chance. It’s a good lesson about everyone being important.” —Christy’s Cozy Corners “Young readers will enjoy this funny and entertaining read-aloud and teachers will appreciate the book’s ability to communicate an important message about how everyone contributes to the team without coming across as preachy.” —Kid Lit Frenzy “Sweet, honest, and humorous…Perfect for classrooms and home libraries.” —Mrs. Mommy Booknerd “What a great back-to-school read-aloud!” —proseandkahn “Sure to be as popular as Kang and Weyant’s other titles, this upbeat story about working together and getting a second chance is a great addition to any school or library collection. Recommended.” —Jean Little Library “Full of puns that will make kids laugh out loud, Anna Kang has written a sweet and humorous story that teaches students about recognizing your potential, the power of cooperation, and how mistakes make us great.” —Beagles and Books “I really enjoyed this story and I think kids will too…This story lends itself to lots of discussion or debate with young readers.” —The Late Bloomer’s Blog “Eraser is a delightful new picture book that emboldens readers to embrace mistakes and elevates the eraser to hero status. This engaging book is a MUST add to your regular story time or read-aloud routine with young children.
