From the Publisher
Meet Chloe: Every week, she collects loose change so she can buy
tickets to ride the merry-go-round. But one fateful day, she gets
lost in the woods on her way home, and a large dragon leaps out
from-"Wait! It''s supposed to be a lion," says Mac Barnett, the
author of this book. But Adam Rex, the illustrator, thinks a dragon
would be so much cooler (don''t you agree?).
Mac''s power of the pen is at odds with Adam''s brush, and Chloe''s
story hangs in the balance. Can she help them out of this quandary
to be the heroine of her own story?
Mac Barnett and Adam Rex are a dynamic duo, and two of the
strongest contemporary voices in picture books today. In an
accessible and funny way, Chloe and the Lion talks
about the creative process and the joys and trials of
collaboration.
