The Usborne Write Your Own Story Book

A fantastic write-in activity 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.

Aspiring young writers will love this book. The first half is full of writing tips, techniques and methods to make every story a masterpiece, with helpful activities on coming up with ideas, writing from different points of view and creating characters, settings and story lines. The second half of the book is full of story themes to write about, from murder mysteries to tales from outer space. With lots of lined space to fill, each activity comes with suggestions for characters, settings and objects to write into the story as well as questions to prompt the imagination.

Concealed spiral binding that allows the book to open flat but doesn’t get in the way as you write.
