Jeffery And Sloth
Written by Kari-Lynn Winters. Illustrated by Ben Hodson.
Jeffrey looked at the blank page. It glared back.
What would you do if your very own doodle rose up and tried to take over your life? This is exactly what happens to Jeffrey as he tries to overcome his writer’s block. However, Jeffrey learns that even the bossiest doodle is powerless against a well told tale.
