"Chester is more than a picture book. It is a story told and retold by dueling author-illustrators. Melanie Watt starts out with the story of a mouse in a house. Then Melanie's cat, Chester, sends the mouse packing and proceeds to cover the pages with rewrites from his red marker, and the gloves are off. Melanie 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 Melanie get her mouse production off the ground?"The cat even crosses Melanie's name off the cover and prints "Chester" in the author's place. ;-)
Coincidently, I am writing this while sitting on the floor of the apartment, as Edmund took my only chair.
