In this engaging and interactive edition, children can control each piece of chalk as it contributes color to the wordless story. Unavailable in print, The Chalk Box Story (Auryn, $3.99 PreS-2) lives on in digital format. Don Freeman did just that more than 35 years ago in a darling book in which each colorful stick brings a scene to life. Imagine a box containing eight pieces of chalk, each one itching to tell a story. Along with Hattie the Backstage Bat and Flash the Dash, The Chalk Box Story and Come Back, Pelican have joined their list. Lucky for this generation of picture-book fans, Auryn is bringing them back in digital format. Freeman is the author of many books beloved by children, now out of print. For others, it's his books Dandelion or A Rainbow of My Own. For many people the name Don Freeman conjures up an image of a bear named Corduroy, longing for a home and a girl named Lisa looking for a friend.
