The Chester series, Book 1 Mélanie Watt Kids Can Press Fiction, CH Humor/Picture Book Themes: Anthropomorphism, Felines ****
Description
Once upon a time, a little mouse lived in the country - at least, until the author's cat Chester got his paws on the story. It's writer versus pet in
the battle for creative control.
Review
Anyone who has ever tried to do anything around a pushy pet can relate to this story. It's even worse when that pet has a red marker and an ego the size
of an unabridged encyclopedia set. Fun, though for some reason I found the sequel (Chester's Back!) a little more amusing.

Description
An author wants to write a story, but Chester the cat wants to call the shots. He's a star, after all, and demands to be treated as such. The author has
other ideas, however...
Review
It was a slow work week, and I found this on top of a bin. This fun little tale gleefully breaks the fourth wall, as Chester's demands get more ostentatious
- as do the author's rebuttals. It got a few chuckles out of me, and kept me entertained while waiting for things to pick up again.
A picture book bunny has been waiting and waiting for a reader to come along. Now that you've picked up his book, he just might never let you leave!
Review
We had some down time at work today, and this happened to be at the top of the bin. A nice, silly little read that dares the reader to walk away. The
illustrations are simple but expressive, and the story itself is fun. That's about all I asked of it at the time.
