Mélanie Watt starts out with the story of a mouse in a house. Then Mélanie's cat, Chester, sends the mouse packing and proceeds to cover the pages with rewrites from his red marker, and the gloves are off.Mélanie and her mouse won't take Chester's antics lying down. And Chester is obviously a creative powerhouse with confidence to spare. Where will this war of the picture-book makers lead? Is it a one-way ticket to Chesterville, or will Mélanie get her mouse production off the ground? 1700253 book 1 9 2007 Chester total:225|5:104|4:81|3:29|2:10|1:1| 225 952 286 70 1703186 1554531403 9781554531400 218 69 4.23 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255810749m/1703186.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1703186.Chester 3 0 false Fri Feb 13 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 13 07:24:05 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 13 07:38:02 -0800 2009
