A riotous, interactive story-within-a-story with twists, turns and unexpected surprises.
Pencil has written THE BEST STORY EVER and he can’t wait to share it with you. But when Pencil’s characters refuse to keep to the story, chaos unfolds. Can Pencil pull his story back on track so that EVERYONE can play a part and EVERYONE can enjoy it? Pencil’s Best Story Ever is celebration of creativity, story writing and resilience.
Perfect for rigid thinkers, this book will help children understand that play can be cooperative and imaginative rather than directive. Essential.
Benjamin Ludwig, School Library Journal
A funny, inventive story about creativity.
The Bookseller
A brilliant example for children writing their own stories with imagination, fun and the power of the writer taking centre stage.
Kate Heap, Scope for Imagination
Kids and grown-ups alike will giggle at Pencil’s story-within-a-story that gets more and more delightfully chaotic as it unfolds. A perfect book to read aloud again and again.
My Baba
This innovative book is a metatextual delight of storytelling . . . Collage-like illustrations add to the childlike feel, and could easily inspire a copycat art lesson.
