Description

A delightful picture book about the importance of imagination and the joy of telling stories, for fans of The Stinky Cheese Man and Interrupting Chicken.

Violet and Victor Small are twins on a mission: to write the best book in the whole, entire world—together! Victor is reluctant, but Violet is determined, and soon the ideas can't come quickly enough. They begin to write a story about a hungry Bookworm who is eating all the books in the library. Thanks to Victor's brilliant ideas, Violet is able to save the day (and the library). This story-within-a-story is filled with good-natured sibling rivalry, and focuses on the spirit of cooperation, the satisfaction of a job well-done, and the magic of storytelling.
