Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Practical and entertaining.......2006-10-01

Stevens has written and illustrated many successful picture books. She uses the fictional genre to show rather than tell her young readers about writing and illustrating a book. Vivid animal characters request her to write a book about them. Children see the process of creating the setting, plot, characters, and having tension in the story. The book ends with the suggestion for the reader to write a story.

2 out of 5 stars Too distracting.......2005-08-15

I already had several books regarding this theme, and this one is definitively not kids friendly. It didn't do anything for me and the black and white graphics are too busy and too distracting for my child to get involved in it. I bought it because it was on the reference page of another book I had.

5 out of 5 stars A Definite Winner!.......2002-04-01

I love Janet Stevens' work and this one is no exception. The illustrations are delightful, as always, and the concept of showing readers how a book is made is terrific. I'll enjoy sharing this with classes. It would be a great lead-in for students to do writing of their own, too. It's a winner!

5 out of 5 stars A wonderful story for children and adults of all ages!.......1997-07-30

Stevens has created a delightful story, complete with fabulous illustrations, in which she models for the reader how a book/story is written. This is a valuable/must resource for any elementary teacher wanting to introduce or reinforce the elements of a story or who just wants her students to enjoy a well-written, fun tale
