Description
When Leo opens his birthday presents, he receives an amazing gift: a pen! Inside it, Papa says, are many beautiful things. But how do you get them out? None of his friends can guess. Super-Zombo doesn't get anywhere by blowing on it, and Coco-Tembo thinks it's too tiny to hold anything important. Maybe Leo's mama will know how to reveal all the wonders inside...
This warm, charming story is a perfect introduction to the joy of writing. Like Leo, young readers will discover how a simple utensil can express all the words in the world--even one's own name.
