When Andrew gets hold of a pencil anything can—and does—happen in this innovative and artistic
book. The story literally unfolds step-by-step as readers are invited to follow Andrew through
flaps and gatefolds. After sharpening his drawing implement on the first page Andrew
challenges the boundaries of each spread by beginning with a line that leads . . . and leads .
. . to unexpected finishes. Staircases become dinosaurs kites become rockets and even the
most unassuming squiggle morphs into a giant chicken! This lighthearted depiction of artistic
inspiration is sure to engage doodlers of all ages. Praise for Andrew Drew and Drew Any
question of reality versus representation is the gentlest kind utterly unobtrusive...Joyful
imagination plain and simple. —Kirkus Reviews The magic comes from the accompanying artwork
which follows the eponymous boy and his adventures in drawing... Like a certain boy with a
purple crayon Andrew knows that drawing offers limitless possibilities and readers will too.

example the ebb and flow of the creative process. —Shelf-Awareness Each page in this
cleverly-designed book is filled with a line a loop even a stair step that Andrew has doodled
on the paper and the beginnings of his drawings often lead to something that even the artist

letting the products of the boy's imagination and readers' anticipation of them shine as the
focus of the book. Never has white space seemed so inviting. —School Library Journal Children

the power of art and the joy of creating it. —BookPage AWARDS: GOLD - 2012 National Parenting
