這是一個從開始就走歪的了繪本的誕生故事……
創作一本書跟你想像的一樣嗎?還是它最終變成了你不認識的#$@!
艾倫想要創作一本關於鱷魚的故事書,
可是,每當他坐下來準備動筆,就被打斷!
手稿不僅被茶浸濕了,還被蝸牛偷咬了幾口!
?
當換成了布魯斯幫忙繪製插圖,
他卻因為太興奮,而沒有畫一隻鱷魚,反倒畫了一隻河馬?!
?
書稿接著交到出版商手上,但事情並沒有好轉……
他們也被興奮沖昏了頭,不僅想在其中加入一隻恐龍,還實驗了各種字體。
?
然後,艾倫與布魯斯把稿子送去印刷廠準備印製,
他們以為事情終於可以塵埃落定,
但是繪本的厄運,真的能夠就此結束…?
Picture books are such good fun and so is making them-- but who knew there were so many things that could go wrong?
This is the story of a picture book doomed from the very start. Allan has a good idea for a book about a crocodile, but every time he sits down to write, he''s interrupted. The manuscript gets soaked in coffee, nibbled by snails, and when Bruce gets started on the pictures, he gets overexcited and draws a hippo, not a crocodile, at which point the publishers get overexcited too--they want a dinosaur and experiment with all kinds of different fonts. Allan and Bruce finally think they''ve straightened things out, when the book goes off to the printer and--you guessed it--the trouble really starts.
My Worst Book Ever is a clever and amusing introduction to the process of writing books for children, and they--along with their parents--will be delighted to see how hilariously wrong Allan and Bruce''s book turns out.
