An interactive picture book from the internationally acclaimed author Herve Tullet.
Someone has been opening this book... I think they're looking for a story! The characters are still only sketches, there's a setting and a few ideas about colour, but who can they turn to for the story? It's not long until they go after the author and disturb him in the middle of his work...
Reviews:
What if you picked out a book to read, but the characters weren’t ready for you yet? A clever picture book from the creator of the New York Time
Clever new metafiction from the prolific French artist. ... In the adeptly controlled chaos within, Tullet outlines the elements of a good story while supplying kids with plenty of inspiration to create their own. —Kirkus Reviews
With plenty of self-referential good cheer, Tullet makes fun of picture books—and of himself, too. ... After creating a hasty story for his characters, the author chases everybody out. Particularly effective is Tullet’s use of varying visual vocabularies to signal the frame stories and the narratives inside them, while exuberant splashes and splotches read as the happy embrace of imperfection. —Publishers Weekly
