I like "Scribble". No, I don't think you understand. I reeeeeeally like "Scribble". I like its art and its style and its "message" (or whatever the equivalent term might be) and pretty much everything about it. The only problem with "Scribble" is that it's not a flashy book. It's sweet and subtle and as a result it's probably not going to draw too much attention to itself. With that in mind, I charge each and every one of you to seek it out since no one's

Imagine if Harold and the Purple Crayon met David Weisner's The Three Pigs and the two books got married and had a baby. Scribble would be the baby. The themes of sibling rivalry and freedom of expression are present without being too didactic and the illustrations are fantastic. Highly Recommended!

Two sisters, Emma and Lucie, create their own drawings. Emma creates a very detailed picture of a princess put under a spell by an evil fairy. Lucie, on the other hand, draws a stick-figured cat. Because Emma makes fun of Lucie's drawing, Lucie scribbles all over Emma's princess picture. While Emma and Lucie are fighting, Lucie's cat hears their bickering and gets curious about the princess Emma drew and leaves his picture to search for the princess.

I loved this book. It reminds me so much of my 4-year old daughter and her fiesty imagination and creative genius! Incidentally, she also loved the book! Very, very fun book!

Lucie gets so upset when her sister Emma insults her drawing of a kittie that she scribbles all over Emma’s drawing of Princess Aurora sleeping in a thicket. When Lucie’s kittie bounds off the page in search of the princess, Lucie follows and finds herself inside the girls’ drawings. Illustrations picture two dimensions at once: Lucie and Emma’s world, depicted in realistic watercolors, and the world of Scribble kittie and the princess--black-line drawings and backgrounds of solid color. Clever,

Squabbling siblings, ingenuity and the irresistable innocence of preschool art combine to make this slick spin on the sleeping beauty standby a welcome trip outside the box.

Caldecott contender for sure! This story about 2 sisters drawing pictures is a classic. The older sister loves to draw princesses with elaborate stories, but the little sister is a pre-schooler, so she still draws "scribbles". Lucie, the little sister, follows her drawing of Scribble the cat into the drawing.

Not a favorite, but I liked the premise, the story itself I enjoyed, just not the way it was written. The illustrations are cute though.

I just didn't like this book. I am sure others will rave about it, but it just wasn't for me. I liked the illustrations of the cat and princess, but didn't like the contrasting illustrations of the two children. I also did not care for the story.

"I told you, I am NOT HELPING!" How can you not be in love with the scribble kitty and the real one holding the crayon at the end? My kind of book.

Story within a story. Sisters argue over their drawings. One drawing comes alive and becomes unscribbled.

Inventive, inviting, encouraging, inspiring, fresh, and beautifully written and illustrated to boot!
