Saga of Shakespeare Pintlewood and the Great Silver Fountain Pen

Shakespeare Pintlewood is an ant. Because he is small, he sees things as children do. After a heroic struggle to write with his large silver pen, he becomes a great literary ant. But he still doesn't know any children. So he shoulders his pen & sets out to find them. Lehman's wry, gentle story & Raschka's warm, delicately humorous illustrations, full of inviting detail, give an ant's eye (Child's eye) view of the hard work & pleasure of writing, of the deep satisfaction stories produce when they bring people together. Readers of all ages are charmed by Shakey & his quest to know & love children. "This is a good book. I liked it when Shakey slid across the spilled ink & when he rode on the little chair. Other kids would like Shakey."--Jennifer, age 5. "All the kids liked it. They wanted to know what happened to the pen. They really listened intently. It really grabbed their interest."--elementary special education teacher. "My daughter loves it. She took it to school & had her teacher read it in class."--mother of 7-year-old. "This book has good values--creativity, persistence, love & loyalty. Raschka's illustrations are inventive, bright, & detailed."--Ann Arbor News.Lehman, James H. is the author of 'Saga of Shakespeare Pintlewood and the Great Silver Fountain Pen' with ISBN 9781878925008 and ISBN 1878925008.
