This book? Is so neat! (Yes, pun intended). A scribble starts out as a baby, but practices and practices, and soon grows up to be a neat line (the illustration for this transition is fabulous). He is then able to wriggle into a real (nursery rhyme) book. Throughout the following pages, the neat line meets well-known nursery rhyme characters and helps them out of sticky situations by reshaping himself into something else. He learns how hard it is to be a neat line, and is relieved to arrive at the final page and find it blank so that he can end his day. Very clever. You’ll want to pick this one up.
