Look! I Wrote a Book! (And You Can Too!)

Hardcover

Grades Preschool – 3
Ages 4–8

From a New York Times bestselling author and an award-winning illustrator comes an utterly hilarious step-by-step guide to writing a book, as told by a child "author."

Want to write a book? Well, the spunky, know-it-all narrator of this side-splitting story can tell you just how to do it. She walks readers through the whole process, from deciding what to write about (like dump trucks or The Olden Days) to writing a story that doesn’t put everyone to sleep and getting people to buy your book (tips: be nice, give them cookies, and if all else fails, tie them to a chair). Packed with bestselling author Lloyd-Jones’s signature wit and charm, this picture book, with whimsical illustrations by beloved illustrator Layton, delivers an outrageously silly story that is sure to have young readers—and writers!—howling with laughter.

"The joys of creativity, exchanging ideas, and sharing stories are explored with accuracy and humor." —Booklist, starred review

“A story-telling anatomy lesson masquerading as giddy fun. . . . [A] charmer.” –Wall Street Journal
