I've always said I wanted to write a children's book. I wrote a poem that I think would be a great kid's book, but I ran into problems illustrating it because I can't draw. But there is no reason why real pictures couldn't be used instead. Picture a little kids book (maybe shaped like a cat's head) with the following poem (maybe two lines per page):
I think my cat is broken.
He doesn’t seem quite right.
He likes to sleep all day long
Then go outside at night.
I think my cat is broken
His tastes are quite absurd.
He didn’t like my candy bar
But tried to eat a bird.
I think my cat is broken
He plays with crazy things.
His favorite toy is just a bell
Wrapped up with little strings.
Maybe my cat’s not broken
And does what all cats do.
He plays and purrs and says meow.
Does that sound broke to you?
Me neither!
How about a contest where you take pictures of your cat acting out the story, winners get bundled up and sent to a publisher. I know my poem's good enough, so if it doesn't get published it'll be your fault. split any profits.
