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. The author wrote this book about a "ferocious beast", not a cuddly creature. Turns out, the book's illustrator has other plans. Page by page, these clashing collaborators are writing (and drawing) themselves into the story for a full-on creative clash - a book-publishing 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 duelling duo get on the same page at last to create the ultimate happy ending?From Lemke & Lentz (the quirky collaborators behind the 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 humour 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.
