Doodleday is a natural story for an artist, especially a kid artist. In it, a kid named Harvey is planning a happy morning of drawing when his mom snatches away the pencil. "Are you mad? NOBODY draws on Doodleday!" Then she goes away, and Harvey is like, "WTF, PARENT" and fetches out another pencil.

Very fun book about imagination, but I wish it had not come out so soon after Chalk which also featured illustrations coming to life.

Cute story about what would happen if drawings came to life! An excellent addition to a classroom or school library! Teachers could really spark story writing this story. I enjoyed the fun illustrations!

This book is about Doodleday, the day when drawings come to life. Mom comes home and saves the day by drawing a mom who gives a talking to the out-of-control drawings.

I read this to the first graders for fun - I think we can all relate to being told not to do something and then finding out the hard way why.

A little boy learns why it is best not to doodle on Doodleday. Fun book and enjoyed the illustrations.

Harvey’s mother has a fit when, as she is leaving the house for the store, she finds her son drawing. She grabs the pencil from Harvey’s hand, warning him that no one may draw on Doodleday. Of course, Harvey ignores her admonitions and soon he is drawing a fly. And suddenly what does Harvey see flying around the kitchen? The fly that he just drew. Things quickly grow worse and worse and Harvey draws more and more things to try to stop his drawings. Finally Mom arrives back home to save the day.
“But Harvey’s spider didn’t care for flies. It was far more interested in his dad.
Harvey wondered if a drawing could eat you. He wasn’t going to wait to find out…”
