Doodleday

By Ross Collins

Drawing is generally a safe pastime, but on Doodleday, you’re in for a surprise. As she leaves for the store, Harvey’s mom strictly forbids him to draw on Doodleday, but what would YOU do if your mom said not to draw today? That’s right. Harvey draws, and it turns out that on Doodleday drawings come to life! That may not sounds all that dangerous, but what if you should happen to draw a monstrous fly? It will ruin your kitchen, that’s what! What do you do then? Well, you draw a big spider. But what do you do when it attacks your dad? With a giant bird and squid to top it off, things spiral out of control and just when all seems lost, mom gets home. She grabs the sketchpad and starts to draw, but what can get rid of a giant fly, spider, bird and squid? You’ll really have to read it to find out. All in all, Doodleday is a charming and playful story about how “Mother knows best.”
