How This Book Was Made

Mac Barnett and Adam Rex team up to deliver a wonderfully meta and humorous look at the book-making process. While it touches on the factual steps of writing, illustrating, and publishing, it cleverly interweaves fantastical elements like pirate encounters and an angry tiger to keep young readers thoroughly entertained. It's perfect for sparking curiosity about where stories come from, encouraging creativity, and providing a laugh-out-loud read-aloud experience for children aged 4-11. Parents will appreciate its blend of education and pure fun.

Presents the journey of a book's creation, from its initial writing and illustrating to its misadventures with pirates and an angry tiger.
