Editorial Review: Product Description: Chester is more than a picture book. It is a story told, and retold, by dueling author-illustrators. Melanie Watt starts out with the story of a mouse in a house. Then Melanie's cat, Chester, sends the mouse packing and proceeds to cover the pages with rewrites from his red marker, and the gloves are off.Melanie and her mouse won't take Chester's antics lying down. And Chester is obviously a creative powerhouse with confidence to spare. Where will this war of the picture-book makers lead? Is it a one-way ticket to Chesterville, or will Melanie get her mouse production off the ground? Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Chester had Gender IssuesThis is a cute book that features a battle of wills between a children's book illustrator and her cat. The pictures are great, especially after Chester 'improves' them to feature himself. The only problem I had was with the book was how Chester was drawn, as a calico with more than three colors in his coat. Cats with more than three colors in their coat are almost always female - the multiple colors thing is a sex linked trait. Personally, I wasn't surprised when Melanie ...

But it gave us lots of laughs. MimiS Rating: - Don't skip the dust coverMy kids laugh out loud at this book. They have me read every single one of Chester's red pen scribbles, on every single page, including the copyright page ... even including the dust cover flaps! Very clever all the way through. Rating:  - Great premise falls short-still a hitMy husband heard a review of this book on NPR and inspired our purchase. The premise of Chester editing the story as it's getting told, is a fantastic one and Chester clearly has the personality to pull it off. What would make it great is if there was actually a story for him to edit. The story never gets off the ground and it seems Chester would have even more material to show off his Chester-ness if there was something more to work with. Both my husband and I thought it was a "non-story". However, my ... Read More: Rating:  - Hobo thinks Chester ROCKS! (and we love it, too!)We are a couple owned by a cat, as anyone who knows cats understands. We also own a bookstore. But enough about us, Hobo says. Here's Hobo's take on "Chester": Hobo: Chester is a way cool cat. Take it from this famous and handsome cat, I recognize Chester's prowess as a fellow writer. Way to go, Chester, keeping Melanie in line, and telling that silly mouse who's boss. Don't get me wrong, I love Melanie's drawings, just like I love Susan Gage's drawings in my book, but I really appreciate all ... Read More: |
