Riassunto

Bobby loves to draw, but he isn’t very good at it. He practices every chance he can find, but discovers that his teacher disapproves of him using classroom time for artwork. This triggers memories of his Uncle Joe, a crafty inventor of all sorts of gadgets that can solve everyday problems but maybe he has invented a contraption that could teach people how to draw better. Bobby never could have imagined the wild misadventures that would follow a discovery he made in an old trunk up in his Uncle’s attic. Join Bobby as he uncovers a power that brings his creative imagination to life, and what can happen when this new talent is used selfishly for revenge. Through the colorful and humorous artwork of legendary Mad magazine illustrator Jack Davis, the combination of Bobby’s imagination and the powers of the magic pen come together to ignite a series of comical situations that will leave the reader wondering what’s next. In the end, Bobby learns a valuable lesson and surprisingly becomes a much better artist, but it’s his father who has the last laugh.Journey through “Bobby and the Magic Pen”, and ask yourself what you might have drawn if you found the magic pen.

L'autore:

Joe Pfeiffer has enjoyed drawing cartoons most of his life. This led Joe to writing and illustrating his first book on the subject of his favorite holiday, Halloween. “Give Them a Real Scare This Halloween,” describes how to truly enjoy this frightful holiday in ways your local trick-or-treaters won’t soon forget. Joe has also written and illustrated two other children’s picture books, “Billy’s Unusual Adventure” and “The One-Legged, Bow-Legged Cricket”. Joe’s ambitions include additional safaris through the depths of his imagination in search for new children’s tales that can be pressed into the pages of future picture storybooks for young readers to explore. Jack Davis has cast the magic of his pen for well over 60 years. Jack is known for his advertising art, magazine covers, film posters, record album art and numerous comic book stories from EC, Atlas, and others. He was one of the founding cartoonists for Mad and contributed to that for decades. He also appeared in all of the issues of Panic and some of Cracked as well as Trump, Humbug, and Help! Jack’s work has been seen worldwide on record jackets, movie posters, books and magazines, including Time and TV Guide. Davis was inducted into the Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2003. He also received the National Cartoonists Society Milton Caniff Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996. And he received the National Cartoonists Society's Advertising Award for 1980 and their Reuben Award for 2000. His creative ability to capture the personality of the character made him the ideal illustrator for this imaginative tale about a boy with a magic pen.
