Ever wonder what pencils and pens do when you fall asleep? Well, Tony’s tools try to help him out by writing his story for school. Humorous illustrations animate writing instruments in this retro-looking fantasy.

Quilts, a truly American art form, are used to illustrate each state in the order in which it was admitted into the United States. Short essays written by state librarians provide the story, background, and information about each quilt and state, and are reflected in the handsome, unique, and colorful illustrations.
