In this zany book, the author's story is taken over by a duck. Without her story, the author can't make the illustrator draw the right pictures. Anthills, funny hats and baseball mix together before the author gets back control.

Your turn to write: Write what happens when the duck steals the story away from the illustrator and the author uses all the wrong words. You could also write about how you made a book.

Crazy illustrations made the author realized her manuscript could be a lot more interesting. Fun story!

The illustrator takes over the story and explains to the author (a visual character) the requirements of a plot and story. Entertaining and silly.

A really funny story about an illustrator who doesn't think she's an illustrator exactly.
