From the editors:
“This story was so magical and fun, and I know readers will love imagining all the things they wish they could draw and bring to life. The pacing of the story was excellent, and the building frustration with Toby the mouse will definitely keep readers engaged. They will also like the build-up as Emma is drawing, each page turn will keep them wondering what will happen next.” ~Millie Godwin
“This was such a fun little story, full of both magic and wisdom! The moral to be careful what you wish for worked ever so perfectly and is a timeless one. Also, it was done in a unique way—not just because of the enchanted pencil, but because the main character is usually the one who needs to learn the lesson. Here, Emma is the one teaching the lesson to Toby, the demanding mouse." ~Emma Lawson
