This is one of two illustrated collections, which show how different kinds of writing - lists, instructions, diary entries, cartoon strips, news reports, recipes, and letters - can be used to tell stories. Many of the pieces included should inspire children to create their own versions. The material - by authors such as Tony Mitton, Gina Douthwaite, Robin Mellor and Wes Magee - has been specially selected for 7-9 year olds (years 3-4 of the National Curriculum). Some pieces are published here for the first time.
