Two artists learn to appreciate differences and work together to create cool new artwork!

This is one of those "can we read it again, mum" books. Always a plus for me. Super plus because it's on the EPIC app with a "read-to-me" feature which is a bit like Audible but with the pictures.

Reminds me a lot of Pete The Cat

The concept of this book is ingenious, and it definitely deserves a place in school libraries and art classrooms. What a fun way to talk about art, especially the type you create yourself.

I didn't appreciate the illustrations as much as I would have wanted to, the combination of rough drawing, realistic elements (pencils) and did not work for me. However, the ideas presented are brilliant, the glass, the dog etc.

I LOVED this one. The back and forth between the mouse and cat and the use of pen and brush as "weapons" was great. Loved the integration of references to real art pieces.

I love these characters that Long has created and this is a fun early reader.

Nice early literacy tie-in to writing/drawing. I loved the artist references too! Scribbles and Ink are both artists, but don't appreciate each others style. This leads to some mischief, and they end up realizing that both styles are valid and worthwhile. The messy illustration style is perfect in representing the artistic styles of each character and the mess their conflict creates.

The Scribbles and Ink books have been a lot of fun. A Cat and a mouse that get along! This time they are going to enter the dinosaur drawing contest to win a trip for a fun day in the mid. But being scribbles themselves, things do not go according to plan. However, everything works out in the end. This is a very basic chapter book great for Elephant and Piggy Fans.
