The story and pictures are very cute, I know that my grandkids will love this story and it may help them figure out how to compromise sometimes.

I read this book to my 7 and 4 year old and they loved it! They loved the super heroes being all about ice cream. They also loved when the beast became cute after getting food. They giggled most of the way through the book. Overall, I think this book has a really good message for children about working together. The artwork style is really cute and the story is very good.

This meta picture book involves an author and illustrator arguing over the direction their story should go. Their dialogue appears in speech bubbles, and you can see the story taking shape and changing around them as they each come up with new ideas. The book is fun and silly, and it shares some good, subtle messages about compromise. Personally, I don't feel like this stands out among all the other meta picture books that have been published in the past decade, but it's cute and can be a good conversation-starter about the creative process.

This would be a great book for getting kids pumped to write and illustrate a story. I'd probably use it with more intermediate or uppe elementary aged students, because the dialogue is pretty lengthy. It's a cool concept and pretty well executed.

Good point!
This book tells vividly how authors and illustrators work together. At times, they will agree and create amazing work but there will be times when they disagree on the writing and the illustrations. This book is honest and creative. Amazing illustrations and storytelling I would say.

Thank you, Capstone, for the advance reading copy.

This is a funny book where the author and illustrator are arguing about what should happen in the story.

I liked this one, but felt that there were a lot of words. Would be better for upper elementary school readers.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC.

Author vs Illustrator is a book about an author and an illustrator butting heads. They can’t agree on what the pictures should look like for the story.

This is a cute story! I loved the illustrations on this one, I think kids will really like the illustrations. I think the story is cute as well. It shows kids how to resolve an argument. I loved the real pictures and story at the end of the book as well.

Thanks so much to netgalley and Capstone for the arc of this book in exchange for an honest review!
