What happens when the characters inside the book realize the author has no clue what's going on? Get ready for giggles, grumbles, and a dash of dino-drool! Carlos the coatimundi and his buddy Ignatz--who can't even stay the same animal for one whole page--are stuck in a book that's not even finished. Empty skies, weird mountains, and not a plot in sight. But when the characters start talking back, the story goes wild! Color splashes and genres twist: from alien UFOs and growling dragons to submarines with capybaras at the helm, and even a ride straight through a parade of racing dogs. Timothy Young's Untitled lets readers peek behind the curtain as Carlos and Ignatz try to outsmart their own author (and roast his "art skills"--yikes!). The pictures fizz with surprises, inside jokes, and silly nods to all your favorite storybooks. This is meta-fictional fun, full of talking animals, out-of-left-field monsters, and comic mischief at every turn. Kids and grown-ups who laughed at The Book With No Pictures or We Are In A Book! will love this totally unpredictable read-aloud. Can two critters find their way to the end if the person drawing them keeps changing his mind? Turn the page--you never know what (or who!) you'll find next.
