"Use this book to discuss the basic elements of a story (character, conflict, setting, resolution) or to explore the creative balance between text and pictures." -- School Library Journal, October 2007.
"This book is fun to read all on its own, but it's also a terrific tool for discussing how picture books are made. Who does what? Does the author or illustrator do their work first? The author has cleverly written a story in which the illustrator doesn't have any manuscript to work from so the illustrator creates the story and the author is running to catch up, except we know that the author is really writing it that way. The conundrum is delightful." -- Children's Literature Network, August 2007.
