Book Description
for The Chalk Box Kid by Clyde Robert Bulla and Thomas Burt Allen
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
When 9-year-old Gregory's family moves, he has to share his new room with a young uncle who calls him the Paintbrush Kid, because of his art; he also has to try to get along with new schoolmates. His imaginative use of a blank wall in a burned out building helps him adjust. The text is easy, and the chapters are short with occasional drawings in black and white. (Ages 5-9)
