Untitled by Timothy Young

YES! There have been so few picture books to make me honestly laugh recently and this one had me cracking up. I can't wait for it to come out so I can read it during storytimes at the bookstore.
First, I love a book about the writing process - it makes a book have greater value. It is a funny story to read to preschoolers, but is a useful tool when teaching the writing process in grade school.
Carlos and Ignaz are hilariously confused in this delightful picture book by Timothy Young. A coatimundi and a capybara (who began the book as a porcupine until the illustrator changed his mind) are just waiting for the author to actually start writing their story. They dream about what might happen and when something FINALLY does, they are taken by surprise.
This story is hilarious for all ages and would be a fun tool when teaching the roles of author and illustrator.
I'd pair this with Chloe and the Lion by Mac Barnett & Adam Rex and Chester by Melanie Watt for a hilarious character vs author vs illustrator themed storytime.
