Chloe and the Lion by Mac Barnett

4.0

An hilarious story in which the author tries to tell the story of Chloe and a lion but the illustrator draws a dragon instead. This leads to an argument between them, derailing the narrative and hijacking the story. In the end, the author discovers the importance of a good illustrator and readers are rewarded with a fun story.

A variety of artistic styles are used to differentiate between real people, scenery, and well- or poorly-illustrated characters. These add to the richness of the story, giving it an additional dimension.
