Reader reviews for Chloe and the Lion

From the publisher

Beloved author and National Ambassador for Young People's Literature Mac Barnett and bestselling artist Adam Rex creatively battle it out on the page in this clever comedy sketch that breaks the fourth wall.

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?
"Twisty plotting, irreverent dialogue, visual hilarity, and sophisticated book design...an arch package." --Booklist
