Every day Daniel’s mother asks if he has made any new friends, but Daniel is perfectly happy spending his time with Annie, and working on his favorite pastime, drawing. At home, Daniel is tormented by his sister, Lila’s, boyfriend, Tommy.
One day, Daniel breaks his pencil while drawing and goes searching for a replacement. He finds a pencil stump in the attic. When he begins drawing, Daniel is astounded when the cat he draws comes to life. Daniel continues to draw a pizza robot, aliens from the planet, Beezo, October, who is half octopus and half bear, and SAP, smart amazing pants. Daniel eventually tells Annie about his treasure.

Daniel the Drawer edition by S J Henderson Children eBooks Reviews

I found this book to be delightful. The way Henderson developed her young characters, the way she nailed how it felt to be nine years old with everyone in your life towering over you. I loved how she empowered Daniel, a nine-year-old boy. How she showed the importance of friendship and how much we depend on it.

I can hardly wait to read it again to my grandsons. They will love it! I think any child would, grown-ups as well. There was humor tucked within each page.

I hope we see more stories with Daniel and Annie, for I was left wanting more. If you'd like a reminder of what it was like to be a kid, and you want to re-awaken your imagination, this is the book for you.
What a fun book to read! As a teacher, I come across "reluctant readers" quite often. Daniel the Draw-er by S.J. Henderson will certainly grasp the attention of those readers.

Daniel's mom thinks it's important for Daniel to make some new friends, but he is very happy with having one friend, his very best friend, Annie. Annie is a down-to-earth fun character who isn't afraid to get dirty, eat worms, or hang around with a boy. And, in this day and age of technology, it is nice to read about a boy using his own imagination. Daniel is content drawing pictures of cool inventions, but when Whiskers the cat comes to life and tells Daniel his pencil is not an ordinary pencil, the magic and adventure really begins!
I have two boys and it is quite tough to get them to read anything at all. I'm always looking for interesting, fun books for them so that they will be able to learn to enjoy reading, since I love reading myself and I know how important it is. Daniel the Draw-er was a huge hit! Both with me and my boys! It was fun, easy to read and we laughed a lot. My oldest son went straight to the drawing board afterwards and wanted all his drawings to come to life.

Daniel the Draw-er is very creative character and that is something important to teach our children. A long with the fact that they should not be bullies and that you should share what you have with others. I love the voice that the author writes in.
As a pretty friendless kid in elementary school, I identified closely with Daniel. As the mother if a child with only one friend, I saw the world through the eyes of Daniel's mom. But when Annie showed Daniel all the friends who helped him in his time of trouble, she brought tears to my eyes. The magic pencil is cool, but Daniel and Annie's friendship is cooler.

Just one question How come Daniel's mom can't make (edible) meatloaf?

I loved this book. Now I have to find a nine year old to give it to.
Daniel the Drawer is S.J. Henderson‘s debut MG. There are so many things to love about this novella.

It’s a quick read. Not just because it’s a novella, but because of the non-stop action. At no point does the pace lag or the plot slow down. Daniel is on one adventure after another. The voice is amazing. Really, truly stellar. S.J. has nailed the nine-year-old male voice. I absolutely love the way Daniel describes his world, his drawings, and the people in it. It’s hilarious and adorable. In other words, it’s the best of both worlds. Daniel is a funny kid and gets himself into some pretty sticky situations. Not surprisingly, can you imagine what you would have done if you were nine and discovered a magical pencil that brings everything you draw to life?

There’s a very subtle, but good message, underneath the story. I hate it when stories are so blatant about the message. It happens a lot with kids stories. Parents are trying to teach the audience a lesson, and when they are they go a little overboard. But with this story, the message is there, but it’s important to the plot so it’s not blatant.

The voice!! I know, I already said it, but seriously. I am a sucker for a vibrant voice, and there’s a very real, very awesome voice to this story. The drawings are so crazy inventive. I could totally imagine a nine-year-old boy drawing Octobear — a half octopus, half teddy bear creation. Or Pi-zzabot, a robot that makes pizza and solves your math homework. Loved it.

I could go on and on, but really the bottom line is this buy the book. Read the book. Especially if you have kids around Daniel’s age.
