  If #2 pencils are the most popular, why aren't they #1?

At this site, that's about the only question dealing with pencils that you won't have answered for you. Ever wondered how pencils are made? How do they get the lead inside the wood? Why are most pencils yellow? What is an eraser made from? Who is credited with making the first pencil?

If these are the sorts of questions that have you lying awake in your bed at night, then you've got to visit The Pencil Pages. Look also for pencil trivia, pencil games, teacher resources, and even an activity that lets you determine whether your pencil is made from cedar or from a tropical rainforest.

When was the last time that you completely devoured a web site? This one is guaranteed to generate that much interest! Give it a shot.
