This book was just meh. I loved the beginning of the book, perfect for a younger reader. The last half of the book took a turn when Andrew was called upon to solve a handful of world problems. Maybe a little too big for the young reader the book is supposed to be for.

Reminiscent of Harold and the Purple Crayon, this is a story about a boy who's art comes to life, which he uses to help the world. It's a sweet story, and a good length for reading in storytime. I wonder though, if this is one the caregivers would "ooo and ahh" over, but the kids would be pretty neutral.

I like Andrew's altruism and spirit. Similar story in some ways to Pig Pig And The Magic Photo Album.

A boy loves to draw wherever he is. It is one of those books that is okay, but not amazing.

Delightful book with a great message. Imaginative play at its best. Andrew draws typical things like animals at the zoo and fish at the aquarium, but he also draws a picture of some trucks filled with food for hungry people. He draws pictures of schools and hospitals and sends them where they are needed. Andrew also draws a little something for himself at the end of the book.
