Riassunto

'Take me for a walk!' cries the line in Gregory's red pencil. So Gregory draws the line straight, and draws it thick, and draws it thin, and draws it in reds and yellows and blues and mixes them all together. But the line gets bored so Gregory draws squiggles, zigzags, squares, circles and triangles that turn into houses and suns and pyramids and wonderful animals and people with funny faces. And Gregory finds himself swooping and diving with the line over more and more exciting scenes, until the line gets tired and Gregory puts it back in the red pencil and says goodnight

A wonderfully fresh and inventive story that tells children about shapes and colours and will inspire them to draw, this is the first book by a new author-artist whose crayony pictures, warm colours and appealing characters have great charm.

Recensione:

For encouraging reluctant young artists, Dawn Piggot's Gregory and the Magic Line is a bright idea (Sarah Johnson The Times, 11 September 2002)

"A gloriously inventive picture book to keep children amused and occupied when they have to stay indoors" (Carousel, Autumn/Winter 2002)

"As well as prompting us to look at the lines, shapes and patterns around us, the story nurtures the reader's enthusiasm for using his or her imagnination. There is plenty to discuss and much opportunity for the story to lead on to other creative activities." (Chid Education)

"A wonderful fresh and inventive story that tells children about shapes and colours and will inspire them to draw and show then delight in being creative. This is the first book by a new author-illustrator whose artwork, warm colours and appealing characters have great charm." (Early Years Educator)
