Author vs. Illustrator by Donald Lemke - ADVISABLE


Author vs. Illustrator by Donald Lemke, 40 pages. GRAPHIC NOVEL. Capstone Editions, 2024. $19.

BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE

APPEALS TO: SEVERAL

The author and illustrator start out on the same page, but they soon turn their book into a battleground of opposing ideas. If they’re going to finish their book, they’ll have to see where words and pictures can help each other—and the story!

While the focus is on complementing words and pictures for a story, Lemke also provides an example of working together with different ideas and strengths. The humor of the characters’ argument balances out the real life skills being illustrated.
