A rainy day. Three kids in a park. A dinosaur spring rider. A bag of chalk. The kids begin to draw...and then...magic! The children draw the sun, butterflies, and a dinosaur that amazingly come to life. Children will never feel the same about the playground after they experience this astounding wordless picture book and the power of the imagination. Bill Thomson embraced traditional painting techniques and meticulously painted each illustration by hand, using acrylic paint and colored pencils.Author: Bill ThomsonPublisher: Two LionsPublished: 01/05/2012Pages: 40Binding Type: HardcoverWeight: 1.25lbsSize: 9.10h x 12.30w x 0.60dISBN: 9780761455264Audience: Ages 4-8Award: Cybils - FinalistAward: Texas 2x2 Reading List - RecommendedAward: Capitol Choices: Noteworthy Books for Children and Teens - RecommendedAward: Volunteer State Book Awards - Runner-UpAward: Connecticut Book Awards - WinnerAward: Buckeye Children's Book Award - WinnerAward: Beehive Awards - NomineeAward: Kentucky Bluegrass Award - WinnerAward: Young Hoosier Book Award - NomineeAward: Nevada Young Readers' Award - NomineeAward: Colorado Children's Book Award - NomineeAward: Buckaroo Book Award - Third PlaceReview Citation(s): Publishers Weekly 01/25/2010 pg. 117School Library Journal 04/01/2010 pg. 141Hornbook Guide to Children 07/01/2010 pg. 316 - Recommended, Satisfactory
