Chester

Mélanie Watt is NOT the author of this book--Chester, her plump calico cat with the big red marker, is. Mouse is NOT the star of the story. Chester uses his red marker to edit the story, sending Mouse on a vacation: "Hasta la vista, Mousie!" Mouse returns from Mexico with a big bulldog. Chester uses the power of the pen to make the dog vegetarian. Mélanie and Mouse try to take back control, but Chester edits himself a perfectly Chester-filled day. Mélanie rains on his parade, so Chester writes THE END.

I'm looking forward to reading this book. I have a calico kitten named Isabell. And I wonder what kind of book she would write if she had a red marker like Chester.
