Paint Brush Kid (Stepping Stone, paper)
Uncle Pancho is about to lose his house! Gregory and his friends love Uncle Pancho. He isn’t really anyone’s uncle—he’s their friend. When he begins to tell the story of his life, Gregory has an idea. He will paint the story of Uncle Pancho’s Life . . . and maybe, just maybe, the painting will help save Uncle Pancho’s house.

This was a little weird for me. Gregory and his friends decide to paint Uncle Pancho's house during the summer, because Uncle Pancho (an elderly neighbor) cannot do it himself. Some of the story is a little...stilted? I'm not sure what's wrong with it. Maybe, as an adult, I want to know why the adults in the story get mad, or say "Go away" or something. Maybe children are more accepting of this behavior, and chalk it up to crazy grown up stuff.
I was very happy to see that a sequel to "The Chalk Box Kid" had been written, as it would allow me to see more of Gregory! Clyde Robert Bulla didn't let me down, as he never does. I did prefer the original, but I was grateful for another chance to read about Gregory, and to see what Clyde Robert Bulla had in store for him so many years after he had written "The Chalk Box Kid". Another good story from a good writer.
This makes me want to read the first book, The Chalk Box Kid...
will he be mad or will his so called uncle let him paint?
