My Pen, by Christopher Myers

From School Library Journal K-Gr 3—Aurelio is a young artist with big eyes, a fedora, and, most importantly, a vivid imagination. In ink renderings on pages that maintain interest by alternating between black on white and the perception of the reverse, the boy contrasts the sense of being small—evoked when he sees rich and famous people—with the power he wields with his pen. The "Dali" headline on the book jacket's folded newspaper boat foreshadows playful bits of surrealism, e.g., an elephant in a teacup, a man who looms large on the left page in the hand of a small girl on the right. This tender composition has a familial, personal feeling. The versatile drawing instrument worries about war, expresses love, and "wears satellite sneakers with computer laces." Myers intersperses literal depictions of the pen at work (creating the child's face) with images that are described in more fanciful terms. Where the artist is walking upside down (no pen in sight), the text reads: "My pen tap-dances on the sky and draws clouds with its feet." The first-person possessive voice wears a little thin, and the connection among the pages is loose. Nevertheless, Myers has assembled a visually arresting array of sketches that will likely attract the interest of children who enjoy drawing themselves. Indeed, the last sentence is an invitation to "Let those worlds inside your pen out!" VERDICT The striking images and important message outweigh any narrative issues.—Wendy Lukehart, District of Columbia Public Library

9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. An invitation to creativity By Janet Hamilton Summary: “All you need is your imagination,” declares the cover of the book. Christopher Myers then goes on to explain all that his pen can do. It can ride dinosaurs, put an elephant in a teacup, and tell stories in the margins of the pages. Sometimes it makes mistakes, but it can draw a new face every morning. “There are a million pens in the world and each one has a million worlds inside it,” concludes Myers. “Let those worlds inside your pen out!”Pros: A fabulous celebration of creativity and imagination. The illustrations may be Caldecott-worthy. Kids will be inspired to get out their pens and see what they can do.Cons: If you’re expecting a story with this book, you’ll be disappointed. It’s more of a creative jumpstart.
