This clever story is written by Seymour, whose mother makes books with blank pages for him and his siblings.  His book is bound within the regular book with smaller pages that reveal the things he writes about, including a comic strip.  His sister, Fiona, also writes about her favorite topics on pages that are a little smaller than Seymour's.  She likes poetry and rhyme and lots of illustrations.  The youngest brother, Wilbur, can only draw his story on pages that are even smaller, but asks Seymour to write the text in for him.  This book, composed of the three short books, can be enjoyed one-on-one or as a classroom model for the gradual stages of writing workshop.  The different page sizes make it quite unique.
