Beloved author and National Ambassador for Young Peopleâs Literature Mac Barnett teams up with bestselling artist Adam Rex to reveal the nitty-gritty process of making a book...with a few unexpected twists along the way!
You may think you know how this book was made, but you don't. Sure, the author wrote many drafts, and the illustrator took a long time creating the art, but then what? How'd it get into your hands? Well, open the cover and read through these pages to find out. Just beware of the pirates and angry tiger. Budding writers and artists will laugh at the mix of reality and the absurd as the story makes its way to a shelf...and eventually, to a reader.
"Fans of these wacky creators will eat it up." âSchool Library Journal
