What if you picked out a book to read, but the characters weren’t ready for you yet? A clever new picture book from the creator of the New York Times bestseller Press Here.
Take a peek inside this book and you’ll find some characters (though they’re still a bit sketchy). They’ll be perplexed to see you, so they’ll quickly try to track down their author (who has a lot more work to do). What you won’t find is a story, or a title, because — guess what? The book isn’t finished yet! But surely the author must have a story to tell? In this charming "meta" picture book, children of all ages are encouraged to interact with a book still in the process of being invented. And that’s a story in itself!

Too clever for his own good!
By Bob Walch
This picture book is rather odd. In fact it is the type of book a youngster either likes immediately or has no interest in. The child I showed it to thought it was rather dumb. So did I! Also why the author felt it necessary to include mugs shots of himself in the book is beyond me. Do we have a bit of an ego here? Oh well, perhaps I don't fully understand the French sense of humor. This book needs far more than just a title....try a storyline too!Book provided by publisher.

Not what I expected. I planned to use this with my second graders but it is developmentally for older students. They enjoyed the story but if you are planning on doing a writing lesson using this book I would recommend it for at least fourth if not fifth grade and up.

interesting book
By Beata Skwarczynska
pretty interesting book, my daughter liked it but doesn't want to come back to it as much as she does with the "Press here" book of the same author
