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.

In the format of a spiral bound notebook, it is divided into two main sections - a writing section and a writing toolkit. The coloured illustrations and ready to use lines are just crying out to be filled and whatever interests your child has, they are sure to find it covered here. Try something new - create a comic strip, tell a picture from a story, create a fairy tale.... all illustrated in full colour. The writing toolkit is packed with ideas for amazing stories. Children will never run out of ideas with this inspiring book which really makes writing fun. Give them a head start on writing and make sure you get a copy of this super book. * Parents in Touch *

Part secret journal, part recipe collection, the Write Your Own Story Book mixed excitement with promise with figments of the imagination.... Ideal for 8-12 year olds, it's full of tips on how to come up with story ideas, different perspectives to take on telling your tales, as well as lots of prompts to get your creative juices flowing. * Playing by the Book blog *
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...well done Usborne! * First4Dads *
This book gave me a chance to write the stories I knew I had inside me. It made me glad because it helped me prove to myself that I could write. * Bethan, aged 11, Bookbabblers *
This is such a fantastic tool that I can't stop talking about it. It's one of my best sellers in my children's department. I literally pile up new copies on the table and the next day, they're gone! Write Your Own Story Book is another gem from Usborne helping children use their imagination and creativity to write wonderful stories. Each page is so visually stimulating and has space for ideas, themes and character development and poses lots of questions to help turn their stories into masterpieces. If you've got a budding writer on your hands then this is just a fantastic book to give them which will set them on the creative path. * 5 Minutes' Peace blog *
