Description
This inventive, colorful book is divided in two sections: story writing and instruction on writing fiction (cleverly called the Story Writing Toolkit). The writer is guided to write 20 different stories on the well-designed pages. Story-specific directions, tips, and such things as interesting vocabulary are cleverly included in the margins. Story types vary, too; write a comic strip, a story about time travel or a tale about animal adventures - or finish one the book has started for you. The Tool Kit (15 pages at the back) includes tips and instructions on plot and character development, as well as creating engaging titles, settings and descriptions_1. The book could serve as a portfolio of your child's creative writing, maybe even a great keepsake. A great way to get your student's creative juices flowing. Spiral bound, but exterior binding covers this for added durability. 8" x 9.75", 95 pp, hc. ~ Ruth

Complete story starters with clear directions. Systematic yet fun.
I highly recommend this story writing book, especially for kids with special needs. The projects are simple and the margins are full of prompts. My son is beginning to think outside the box just a bit. This is our second Usbirne story writing book. I plan to get another after this one.
