The narrator is completely certain that this is the best story ever written, but the characters inside the book strongly disagree. You step right into a hilarious conflict when a unicorn, a dinosaur, and a shark refuse to play their assigned roles and cooperate with the bossy storyteller. Unimpressed by the plot and tired of taking directions, the three famous creatures decide they would rather do their own thing. This clever meta-fiction picture book breaks all the rules of traditional storytelling as the narrator desperately tries to keep the cast from walking right off the page. The witty dialogue and highly expressive illustrations capture the mounting frustration of the storyteller and the stubborn independence of the characters. It is a wildly funny battle of wills that proves writing a book is much harder than it looks.
