A fantastic write-in book that helps children learn to write their own stories.
A fantastic write-in book that helps children learn to write their own stories. Includes lots of different writing activities including a fictional school journal, writing a comic strip, and forming a story around a picture. Packed with writing tips and a 'storywriting toolkit' to inspire budding authors. Concealed spiral binding that allows the book to open flat but doesn't get in the way as you write. Perfectly complemented by Usborne's Write Your Own Story Word Book, an inspiring write-in book that helps children find the right words for engaging stories.
'A writing workshop in book form' - Bookfest; 'A truly creative book that is bound to inspire the JK Rowlings and Jacqueline Wilsons of the future' - tBk magazine; 'Packed with ideas to get children's imaginations flowing, from tips on characters, settings and story starter, to word lists and hints on titles. There are also plenty of blank lines, just begging to be written on' - We Love This Book; 'Full of inspiring ideas for all sorts of stories, from super power adventures to time-travel mysteries. Guidance on how to get started and help with all the things a budding writer needs to think about. By the end of the summer holidays you could have written the next Harry Potter!' - Baby and Me; 'For all budding story tellers, this is a must-have book: from simple story plans to techniques for more elaborate stories, your storytelling skills will jump to a different league' - Angels and Urchins; 'This is such a fantastic tool that I can't stop talking about it' - 5 Minutes Peace blog; 'I wish I had had this fabulous book when I was young girl... an absolute gem for creative kids or for kids whose creativity needs a boost.' - Book Reviews for Mums; 'Simply fantastic for encouraging budding young authors to write their very own masterpieces... a really superb and highly educational 'exercise' book which not only gives children a fascinating insight into story writing and creation, but also encourages them to have a go themselves. This is definitely a personal favourite' - First4Dads
