Red panda Amy's attempt at storytelling is interrupted by the plushie-looking animals who overran this book's likewise-meta predecessor, Mervin the Sloth Is About to Do the Best Thing in the World. The all-dialogue-balloon text and the suspended black letters with which Amy must write create some visual chaos, but she's ultimately pleased with her work; many readers will be, too.
