摘要
Uncle Pancho is about to lose his house! Gregory and his friends love Uncle Pancho. He isn't really anyone's uncle--he's their friend. When he begins to tell the story of his life, Gregory has an idea. He will paint the story of Uncle Pancho's Life . . . and maybe, just maybe, the painting will help save Uncle Pancho's house. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Gr 2-4-In this little jewel of a beginning chapter book, Gregory, the Chalk Box Kid (Random, 1987), returns with his friends Ivy and Richard. Here, Gregory paints pictures of Uncle Pancho's childhood in Mexico on the man's house. When the house is slated for demolition because of a new freeway, a plan is hatched to save it; when that fails, the house is moved out of the path of destruction to a new site. Uncle Pancho's hopes of being reunited with his son come to nothing, but a neighbor, Mr. Hiller, presents himself as a volunteer adopted son. Thus, disappointments are turned into victories. Even self-absorbed Uncle Max comes partly alive and shows a little interest in Gregory's artwork. Beier's pencil drawings are effective and plentiful but, given the topic, it's a shame they aren't in color. The full-color picture on the cover clearly shows the beatific expression of a child engaged in the flow of creation.-Ruth Semrau, formerly at Lovejoy School, Allen, TX (c) Copyright 2010.

In this sequel to [cf2]The Chalk Box Kid[cf1], Gregory paints an elderly neighbor's home. Featuring pictures from Uncle Pancho's past as well as a fantasy portrait of Pancho with his long-missing adult son, the house begins to attract media attention, but the city still plans to tear it down. The conclusion is realistic--satisfying, yet containing some unresolved conflict. The simply written text is illustrated with dated-looking artwork. (c) Copyright 2010.
