Synopsis
See below for English description.
Chester revient en force! Cette fois, le turbulent et vaniteux chat est d?termin? ? cr?er son propre livre, sans l'aide de M?lanie! Il a m?me cach? les pinceaux, la peinture et la souris d'ordinateur de l'auteure! D?bordant de confiance, Chester se met au travail. Mais les mots ne lui viennent pas facilement. Serait-il atteint du syndrome de la page blanche? Arm?e seulement d'un crayon et d'un bloc-notes, M?lanie le guide dans le processus de r?daction. Chester exprime alors son c?t? artistique de diff?rentes fa?ons. Rien ne peut l'arr?ter sauf peut-?tre un petit probl?me d'ordre technique. Il n'y a plus d'encre dans son marqueur rouge! Ce troisi?me livre mettant en vedette le chat Chester est tout aussi hilarant que les pr?c?dents.
Chester's finally ready to write his own masterpiece --- he just needs to get pesky writer-illustrator M?lanie Watt out of the way. Chester's solo attempts at storytelling are messy, to say the least, but he's determined to go it alone. But where's his story going? After several alternative (but always unhappy) endings, Chester is confronted by a problem he never bargained for. A wry comment on the creative process and how good stories are constructed, this is the most uproarious Chester book yet.

About the Author
Si vous avez lu ses histoires, vous la connaissez d?j? un peu, car M?lanie Watt s'inspire de ce qui l'entoure et de situations v?cues quand elle ?tait enfant. Elle avoue qu'il y a un peu d'elle-m?me dans chacun de ses petits personnages. Comme L?on le cam?l?on, elle est un peu timide; comme Frisson l'?cureuil, elle aime le confort et la s?curit? de ce qui lui est familier. Mais lequel de ses personnages lui ressemble le plus? C'est sans aucun doute Augustine, le charmant petit manchot qui d?m?nage au p?le Nord. M?lanie ?crit en fran?ais et illustre ses propres livres, ce qui lui permet de cr?er des histoires et des d?cors exactement comme elle les imagine. Ses livres d?bordent de r?alisme, d'humour et d'?motions. Elle aborde des th?mes tels que le d?m?nagement, la peur de l'inconnu et les relations entre amis. Ses personnages, des animaux, sont toujours attachants et ont une personnalit? bien ? eux. La jeune auteure-illustratrice a remport? pour son travail de prestigieuses r?compenses, dont le Prix Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz, le Prix Blue Spruce et le Prix Amelia Frances Howard-Gibbon, tous les trois pour Frisson l'?cureuil. M?lanie n'est mais ? court d'id?es. De toute fa?on, elle a de l'aide ? cet ?gard, car elle ne travaille pas seule dans son studio, ? sa maison de Saint-Stanislas-de-Kostka. Son perroquet vert, Kiwi, est toujours ? ses c?t?s. Aux jeunes, elle lance le message suivant: ? C'est incroyable ce qu'on peut accomplir quand on fait ce qu'on aime! Lorsqu'on trouve un milieu o? l'on est ? l'aise et l'o? on peut donner le meilleur de soi-m?me, c'est extr?mement valorisant! ? M?lanie est n?e ? Trois-Rivi?res, le 20 ao't 1975. Elle d?tient un baccalaur?at en graphisme de l'Universit? du Qu?bec ? Montr?al.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Watt, Mélanie (illustrator). Chester's finally ready to write his own masterpiece --- he just needs to get M lanie Watt out of the way A wry take on the creative process and how good stories are constructed.When Chester (the cat) announces he's taking over for M lanie Watt on this book due to some technical difficulties*, M lanie begs to differ. She tells him that no one will want to publish his messy book. And she demands that he return her supplies so she can get to work. Chester insists he can create the best, most original story anyone has ever read in their entire nine lives. Only, his attempts don't quite work. Even with M lanie's prodding, Chester struggles to find his own story to tell. Hmm . will the real author and illustrator have the last laugh after all?*M lanie's art supplies and computer mouse have mysteriously gone missing.Here's another hilarious Chester picture book from award-winning and bestselling author-illustrator M lanie Watt. The story is told through the dialogue between Watt, who communicates on sticky notes, and Chester, whose comments are tucked around his creations, which sprawl across the spreads and include loads of tape, staples, and torn-out notebook paper. Chester himself, as drawn by Watt, and his trusty red marker dominate the action, and the pure silly fun makes this a popular read-aloud. Bits of humor can be found all over the pages --- including running commentary from an actual mouse --- encouraging visual literacy. With its wry take on the creative process and how good stories are constructed, this is also a perfect companion to lessons on the parts of story, including genre, setting, plot and characters.
