From a New York Times bestselling author and an award-winning illustrator comes a hilarious step-by-step guide to writing a book — as told by a child “author.” The spunky, know-it-all narrator walks young 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, to getting people to buy the book. A fun, inspiring pick for kids who love telling stories — and for the grown-ups who read with them.
