review 1: Kuipers provides a cute look at the process of writing a story, from a child's point of view. Not only is the relationship between the siblings funny and realistic, but it maps out beautifully the elements needed to create a story. The imagination expended here is to be applauded and the book is not only entertaining but is a natural lead in to young readers writing their own stories. In fact, I plan to use this with some of my own students. The multicolored ink helps distinguish between Violet and Victor which helps the reader know who is speaking. The delightful collage illustrations are bound to inspire children to use their own imaginations to create their own "best-ever" stories. I also like the fact that the two children come at the story with very different ide... moreas, but somehow manage to create a single story which they then enjoy reading together. A great book for young readers who aren't sure they can create a story of their own. The book is also plain good reading.
review 2: The bookworm in me loved this book! The brother-sister dynamic cute and realistic- I could picture having a similar conversation with my brothers when we were kids. The illustrations are a great mix or drawings and photographs of actual book covers, pages, origami etc. There is so much to look at on each page- this would be a great book to curl up with and read one-on-one with a child to find all the different, cool things hiding on each page. The color of the text changes to help the reader keep track of who is talking, and which parts of the text are part of the story are in the book they are writing (these text chunks appear on colored notebook paper in the same color as whichever character is writing), vs. the dialogue between brother and sister. less
