Summary: Meta-picture book. A story about Chloe and a lion turns into an argument between the author and the illustrator. When the Adam the illustrator goes rogue and draws a dinosaur rather than a lion, he gets replaced with a new illustrator who can't draw the story that way Adam can. Mac tries to draw it himself and then realizes that he can't do it. He has to apologize and then save Adam so that they can finish the book.
Classroom Ideas: This book can start a discussion about the parts of a successful children's book and how the author & illustrator are a team.
