Chester is more than a picture book. It is a story told, and retold, by dueling author-illustrators. Mélanie Watt starts out with the story of a mouse in a house. Then Mélanie's cat, Chester, sends the mouse packing and proceeds to cover the pages with rewrites from his red marker, and the gloves are off. Mélanie 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 Mélanie get her mouse production off the ground?

reviewed Chester on July 23, 2009 Chester
Got this out of the library for my 5 year old, and adored it. Laughed so hard I couldn't read the story coherently, which actually would have been a little tricky under any circumstances, as I had to pause a lot to explain the wacky postmodern premise of the book to my slightly puzzled boy. Essentially Chester the cat and Melanie Watt the author are fighting for control over the narration of a sweet story about a mouse, Chester being particularly aggressive, crossing out lines and drawing (gently) rude pictures. I also had to explain to T such book elements as dedications and author bios, which Chester, with his bright red pen has also had a hand in. The circle on the front cover which reads (in Chester's hand) "Place My Award Here" expresses the spirit of the book perfectly.
