Author vs. illustrator

Lemke, Donald,


At the far reaches of Earth, high upon a mountaintop, a bustling city is under attack by a . . . cute little furball? Wait- what?! That's not right.

Page by page, these clashing collaborators are writing (and drawing) themselves into the story for a full-on creator combat- a bookmaking BATTLE ROYALE! Can the author make a successful book with no pictures? Can the illustrator tell a tale without words? (A picture is worth a thousand of them, he says.) Or will this dueling duo get on the same page at last to create the ultimate happy ending?From Lemke and Lentz (the quirky collaborators behind Call of Doodie and Book-O-Beards) comes a laugh-out-loud picture book about the not-so-simple process of creating a picture book. Full of over-the-top humor and under-the-radar lessons- including the skills of teamwork, conflict resolution, and respect- this book is a must-have for young writers, budding artists, and lifelong book lovers.
