創作者總是在乾淨、安靜的環境中工作嗎？No、no、no，他們可是歷經艱辛的~

修改了好幾次的稿子、繪出了好幾種的草稿、與同伴無數次的討論、與印刷公司的協調，都還不夠。更讓人感到憂心的是，日常生活細瑣環節可能使你進度落後。

覺得好像在鼓勵大家別太用心創作？No~no~no~完全相反。透過傾聽閱讀兩位作者，你會對他們的專注感到佩服，並對任何藝術與職業所產出的作品，肅然起敬。

Allan Ahlberg、Bruce Ingman攜手打造這與眾不同且難以被定義的書籍，他們沒有直接告訴你他們所想創作的故事內容，而是用搞笑的方式把寫作和繪圖的過程逐一攤給讀者看。期間所經歷的擔心、快樂，不正為最後的成品增添趣味與成就感呢~

這從不會是一本糟糕的書！而是一本讓你迫切想與人分享超棒的書！

A book about all the things that can go wrong when you try to write one, by the picture-book dream team that produced The Pencil and Hooray for Bread

Picture books are such good fun and so is making them― but who knew there were so many things that could go wrong?

This is the story of a picture book doomed from the very start. Allan has a good idea for a book about a crocodile, but every time he sits down to write, he’s interrupted. The manuscript gets soaked in coffee, nibbled by snails, and when Bruce gets started on the pictures, he gets overexcited and draws a hippo, not a crocodile, at which point the publishers get overexcited too―they want a dinosaur and experiment with all kinds of different fonts. Allan and Bruce finally think they’ve straightened things out, when the book goes off to the printer and―you guessed it―the trouble really starts.

My Worst Book Ever is a clever and amusing introduction to the process of writing books for children, and they―along with their parents―will be delighted to see how hilariously wrong Allan and Bruce’s book turns out.
