Violet and Victor Write the Most Fabulous Fairy Tale

40 pp. | Little | January, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-316-21202-1 $17.00
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bethanie Deeney Murguia. In their second outing, twins Violet and Victor antagonistically team-write a story: Violet is writing a fairy tale, but Victor is only interested in facts about Australian animals. The resulting hybrid tale humorously reflects the trajectory of the twins' conflict. The inventive illustrations incorporate real objects--in particular, pages from repurposed books--and rise to the metafictive challenge of the dual narrative.
