Everything that Newton draws with his red crayon turns real, he finds that his crayon is magic! For instance, he draws a race car, boots, and finally an airplane which he flies out of the house! This would be a fun story to tell your class and it would also get them to look outside the box.

I am enjoying my 2022 quest to read most, if not all of my large accumulation of illustrated books. Primarily, I love the creative art found in these story books. This book in particular, brought laughter at the sheer creativity.
Newtown found a magical red crayon on the sidewalk. It felt warm when
A bright red race car, fire engine, a shiny pair of boots with a side zipper all became objects of play. And, when playing with each creation, the same words were heard loudly from his mother --"Not In the House Newton!"
Asking for a roll of tape, he carefully pieced together each drawing. On the back, he drew his most perfect creation of a bright red airplane with perfect wings . When he finished, the object once again became real. The door opened and Newton flew out the window. He called to his mother not to worry, he would not be navigating the plane in the house. Away he flew, with the bright red, warm crayon in his pocket.

A red shiny ball bounced off the page, and he caught it every time it hit the wall. "Not In the House Newton!" was what his mother said every time his creations became a reality.A bright red race car, fire engine, a shiny pair of boots with a side zipper all became objects of play.
