The Red Chalk

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Marije Tolman. When Sara gets bored with her chalk, she convinces Tim to trade for his marbles. She's still not satisfied and keeps trading, each time making a claim (e.g., "This is magic chalk") that comes true although she never finds out. This tribute to the imagination is beautifully supported by finely crafted ink and watercolor art.
