Book Description

Redfeather Book

With encouragement from his teacher and help from his classmates, eight-year-old Alvin struggles with his efforts to draw a horse for the third-grade art exhibit.


Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-3-- Try though he may, Alvin cannot seem to draw a satisfactory picture of a horse to hang in the third-grade art exhibit. He has talent in baseball, not in art, and after all, doesn't art require talent? The youngster finds, however, that there is more to most anything than just talent. He struggles with this project and also struggles with this life lesson. He learns how to draw horses and how to draw on other people's knowledge. Most importantly, he learns how wonderful success feels when it comes from tenacity and hard work. Alvin, filled with third-grade angst, will appeal to young readers. Other characters, such as the teacher and the boy's overly busy parents, smack of reality and add to the humor. The story is sure to be appreciated by transitional readers. --Elizabeth Hanson, Chicago Public Library
