Author & Illustrators
The intensely detailed illustrations guide the reader through the story of three children who discover some enchanted chalk on a rainy day. Whatever they draw magically comes to life and the children are filled with delight at their creations, until one of the boys draws a Tyrannosaurus Rex and the children need to figure out a way to escape the dilemma they now face. This book lends itself well to drama and story-making, particular if you provide a few chalks and a clear playground!
