McDonnell's A Perfectly Messed Up Story fits in with the recent trend of "metafiction" titles. Just as our story gets started, our main character Louie is hit with a splat of grape jelly, followed by a plop of chunky peanut butter. Fearing his story will never get off the ground, Louie feels utterly defeated. Youngsters will love watching Louie rebound from his messed-up story, with plenty of laughs along the way. Great for group read alouds or independent reading.
