A Beginning, a Muddle, and an End: The Right Way to Write Writing

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Tricia Tusa. Avon the snail is an aspiring writer, but what to write, he doesn't know. He discusses his dilemma with Edward the ant, but their conversations move in philosophical circles and accomplish very little. In this brief text about writing and writer's block, the plot takes a back seat to persistent wordplay. Friendly black-and-white spot art gives personality to the pals.
