The Crayon Stub

A hilarious picture book about an artistic kitty’s search for inspiration--and the mischievous younger sibling who keeps getting in the way. Big Cat has a fresh new piece of paper, a box of big, beautiful crayons, and a dream: to create something TOTALLY SPECTACULAR and become WORLD FAMOUS! The only problem? All the crayons have gone missing except for one tiny red stub. What a disaster! And even if Big Cat could make something with the stub, what could possibly be spectacular enough to be worth drawing? Making matters worse, Big Cat has a younger sibling who keeps getting in the way. Little Cat seems less interested in making SPECTACULAR ART and more excited about . . . food, mostly. What''s a feline in search of inspiration to do? Packed with sly humor and visual jokes in Marcus Cutler''s bold, appealing artwork,
