A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Scribbles the Cat and Ink the Mouse are nowhere near the average cartoon cat and mouse for one thing they are good buddies, who like nothing more than lounging around, or being creative with art supplies. When Ink finds a contest to win an adventure holiday by drawing dinosaurs, they both have a go with unexpected results... Scribbles and Ink are also completely unlike Tom and Jerry for the very way they appear on the page. Ink is a bit like Jerry, if looser and more casual but casual isn't even the word for Scribbles. If anything the rough and ready crayon effect he is made with reminds you of Roobarb and Custard on TV you half expect them to wobble on the page with the animation. Add in Scribble's speech bubbles being made from his favourite blue colouring pencils and Ink's being decorated with his favourite red paintbrush and you have what looks like a sloppy messy little book. But it's a fun sloppy mess. There is a bit of a moral here to encourage people to have a go, although that's not the main point of the story. This volume is the third of a series, and that may have come before. What we get here is a fun little item, with a nice surprise for the first time reader, an amusing ending and a perfectly harmless story. Picture book purists will find it a little unsavoury why choose the handmade look over all the others out there but I liked it. The framing of close-up details so the reveals of the dinosaur drawings are delayed, and the bright, colourful speech bubbles make this slightly more mature than some strictly to-be-read-out books, and in the end it comes down as perhaps more of a 'my first hardback comic'. In that regard, it's well presented, well made, and a success. --The Bookbag, october, 2013

Présentation de l'éditeur

Scribbles the cat and Ink the mouse are buddies and fellow artists. Ink is excited for them to enter a "Draw a Dinosaur" contest. The prize is two tickets to a mud-themed amusement park. Ink is secretly scared of drawing a dinosaur. He urges Scribbles to have a go at it--but thinks the resulting effort looks like a prehistoric chicken. Next, Ink draws...an egg--and insists there's a dinosaur inside it. He's right! As the egg-drawing hatches, a baby dino crawls out, and starts wailing for his mommy. Suddenly, the Chick-a-saurus comes in and scoops the baby into her feathery arms. Realizing that they won't win the contest, Ink creates a "Best Buddy" trophy for Scribbles and Ink and dino-duo throw a mud party for Ink!
