About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling perfectionistic or stuck, or when you want to spark a conversation about how mistakes and 'unfinished' ideas are actually part of the creative process. It is a brilliant tool for children who might feel anxious about getting things 'right' the first time. The story features a cast of characters who are caught off guard because their book isn't finished yet, leading to a hilarious, meta-narrative scramble to put a story together while the reader watches. By breaking the fourth wall, Hervé Tullet demystifies the act of creation. It explores themes of collaboration, the silliness of trial and error, and the joy of spontaneity. Ideal for preschoolers and early elementary students, it transforms the act of reading into an interactive game, making it a perfect choice for parents who want to foster a love of storytelling and a healthy, low-pressure approach to imagination.
