Description
This set of seven book and pencil erasers turns a pencil case into a tiny library. Four of them are miniature story books, each with its own printed front cover. Little Mouse's Big Adventure shows a mouse floating in a striped hot air balloon. The Sunny Sausage Dog has a dachshund in a stripy jumper under a bright sun. Bear's Birthday has a bear in a party hat holding a cake with candles, and Bunny's Flower Garden has a rabbit standing among flowers. The covers come in blue, pale blue, pink and red, with Animal Tales along each spine and a white edge of pages. The other three are miniature pencils in red, blue and pink, each with a cream sharpened end and a black tip.
Being rubber, every piece rubs out pencil just as a plain eraser would, only with far more charm. We like the pencils for small slips in a notebook or sketchbook and the books for bigger corrections, though you may find the whole set ends up lined along the desk as a little shelf of stories. They belong in a pencil case, a stationery drawer or a desk tidy, and they bring a cheerful bit of colour to doodling, journalling, sketching and puzzle books alike.
All seven are made of rubber, and together the set measures 4.8cm long, 3.3cm wide and 4.3cm high and weighs just 86g, so it takes up almost no room in a bag. The pieces stand in a small open box printed with the sausage dog, which keeps them together on a shelf or desk. To keep the covers bright, brush away the crumbs after each use and pop the erasers back in their box when you have finished. As a small gift it needs little more than a ribbon, and it sits happily alongside a fresh notebook or a handful of pencils.
