 * Author Biography:**

This book is about a girl named Chloe who goes around searching for loose change each week to go on a carrousel. Soon after the book begins, the author begins arguing with the illustrator and fires him. The story continues on to the author and Chloe going through a series of different illustrators and the adventure Chloe goes on to make things better.
 * Summary:**

This is a very silly book about the author telling the story through his perspective and the illustrator’s perspective. The main character of the story is the author who goes through a bunch of illustrators and the girl who was intended to be the main character goes on an adventure. I think the book was funny and that young children would enjoy it and it would be a good book to use to teach mini lessons.
 * Book Review:**

The important literary element in this book was the writing style. The book was told in the perspective of the author, the illustrator and of Chloe, who was supposed to be the main character. The book begins normally as any other book and then a conflict arises and the author begins interacting with the illustrator and main character. This book is a good book to talk to the class how funny the author is and how the author switches from the seriousness of the book to being humorous very quickly.
