Jaunty in tone, informative in content, and, with its comic-book-style presentation, accessible in format, this is a fitting companion to Christelow's What Do Authors Do? By featuring two fictional artists, each inspired to illustrate "Jack and the Beanstalk," Christelow not only explains the process of bookmaking but also defines abstract concepts (style, design) with as much clarity as more concrete technical terms (dummy, typeface).
