Chester (Melanie Watt)By: Melanie Watt Chester is more than a picture book. It is a story told, and retold, by dueling author illustrators. Melanie Watt starts out with the story of a mouse in a house. Then Melanies cat, Chester, sends the mouse packing and proceeds to cover the pages with rewrites from his red marker, and the gloves are off. Melanie and her mouse wont take Chesters antics lying down. And Chester is obviously a creative powerhouse with confidence to spare.
