The language is delightful, making this a super fun read-aloud.

And that’s not to mention Ma Glamrock, Pa Punkrock, Butterfly Glitz, and the rapping, dancing trio of Levi Toot and the Homeboys.

Ziggy Fuzz, the intrepid, wheelchair-bound president of the Scribbleboy fan club.

Tiffany Spangle, who drives an ice-cream truck and gives ice-cream-diagnoses.

Bailey’s brother, Monty, who works at Pizza Most Yum Yum.

Bailey’s father, “The Skipper”, who went a little off the deep end after Bailey’s mother left them.

Bailey Silk, our shy, stuttering, sad young hero, who has just moved with his family to a gray, dreary, concrete new neighborhood.

The fast-paced, fun story is packed with fabulous characters:

There is nothing not to love about this book. If, when you see the Scribble, it swirls and whirls inside you, like it swirls and whirls inside me, then join the Scribbleboy fan club!įor younger kiddos, this is a great read-aloud. At the back of this playground is … a Scribble. Leave your flats, cross the square, walk down the concrete plaza until you reach the playground. There happens to be a Scribble very close to you.

Scribbles scribbled by the most scribbledacious and scribblefabulous scribbler in Scribbledom. That’s because they’re not graffiti – they’re Scribbles. Most of it is totally ugly and boring, but there are some pieces that are not totally ugly and boring at all. If you look around the neighborhood you’ll see lots of graffiti. You’re probably wondering who Scribbleboy is. The full title of the fan club is the Scribbleboy Fan Club. I’m the president of a special fan club, and I’d like you – yes you, new kid around here – to join. Scribbleations, new kid! Welcome to the neighborhood.
