Author VS. Illustrator, written by Don Lemke and illustrated by Bob Lentz, made it's debut this fall. It's one of my all-time favorite books from our friends at Capstone.
As shared from CapstonePub.com,
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 critter. 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 creator combat—a bookmaking 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 dueling duo get on the same page at last to create the ultimate happy ending?
From Lemke & Lentz (the quirky collaborators behind Call of Doodie and 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 humor 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.
This week, they released the amazing new Author VS. Illustrator Activity Pack!
It is filled with oodles of fun writing and art activities that our readers will love. I can't wait to do them too.
You can order Author VS. Illustrator here.
On Capstone's Fall 2024 page here, you will find a preview of the book, and the special activity pack.
I am dreaming up all kinds of ways to use this book with our students this year. I will be sharing more ideas soon.
