Synopsis

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 delightful 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.

Goodreads review by Jennifer on March 28, 2025

Twins Violet and Victor collaborate to write a story, with a bit of bickering along the way. This is a nice group read aloud to discuss the writing process and collaboration, and the illustrations are superb. However, so much of it is in word bubble format and the concept is a little more intangible......more

Goodreads review by Enrique on November 07, 2019

Love the way the illustrations are put into the book and made as a type of collage where you can see various colors to make up a page and almost seem as ripped out from other books and put all together.
