Bookroo's summary

The Little Red Pen faces a mountain of homework alone until she falls into the dreaded Pit of No Return. Her fellow school supplies must unite to save her, but their plan hinges on Tank, the uncooperative class hamster. Can they overcome chaos and work together, or will the Little Red Pen be lost forever? Join this hilarious and creative rescue mission where teamwork is the only way out.

From the publisher

Kids–and adults–will never see their school supplies in quite the same way again.Poor Little Red Pen! She can’t possibly correct a mountain of homework all by herself. Who will help her? “Not I!” says Stapler. “Not I!” says Eraser. “¡Yo no!” says Pushpin.But when the Little Red Pen tumbles in exhaustion into the Pit of No Return (the trash!), her fellow school supplies must get themselves out of the desk drawer and work together to rescue her. Trouble is, their plan depends on Tank, the rotund class hamster, who’s not inclined to cooperate. Will the Little Red Pen be lost forever?There’s no lack of trial and error, hilarious chaos, or creative problem solving in this mission!
