You are able to read this book because you exist. Every creature – whether big or small, fat or thin, beautiful or ugly – wants to exist. But H’s illustrator took one look at him and said, ‘Ugh, I don’t like it. I’ll erase it.’But H wants to get to the end of the story. With your help, he can make it. Will you help him reach the end of this book? You will? Thank you! Oh, one more thing – keep your eyes open for the illustrator. She’s very sneaky. Ready? Let’s begin.

I was so pleased when I purchased this book in a book signing! The author, Amy Winfield, had read it to a group of children who were enthralled with the story and the illustrations. H, the main character, is being pursed by an eraser happy illustrator and has to escape them. This is a very novel approach to the construction of a book and the illustrations. I can see it being used in an early childhood classroom as a jumping off to the students creating their own books to read aloud to the class.
