Comments for Chester
Chester: 09/03/11
Chester by Mélanie Watt is the first book in a picture book series about a meddling cat who wants to the star of a book. Mélanie Watt, on the other hand, wants to write a story about a mouse.
Through the dialog between Mélanie and Chester and the cat's use of red marker to draw over the original artwork, the book teaches children about the different parts of a story.
Chester is the first cartoon cat with this much attitude since Garfield. But he's aimed at a younger audience, the pre-K to second grade set.
There are two other Chester books: Chester Returns and Chester's Masterpiece (review coming)
Four stars.

I love Chester! I have one of his red markers (a promo item from a couple of years ago.) Melanie Watt is brilliant.

How cute that there were red markers for promos.
