Description
Sparking creativity for all, this book invites readers to draw, write, and talk about the "what-ifs" and "how-comes." It's a storytelling revolution that turns reluctant readers into eager explorers and pushes young book lovers to create memorable stories of their own. This unusual rhyming journey through a world of dynamic story starters, was created in collaboration with twelve illustrators, to excite and engage everyone from avid book lovers, to the most reluctant readers. Children at home will ask for the book again and again, reliving their adventure across every contrasting page. In school environments this book is used by teachers in Key stages 1 and 2 to engage reluctant readers and writers, inspiring them to write creatively and map stories using the fun and disruptive content. Other more able writers in school extend their stories into fully illustrated poems. This book is a great tool for anyone who wants to reignite the imaginative wonder in the mind of their child/student.

"Don't Look in this Book! Well, maybe just this once! Discover a world of imagination; from aliens to arctic ninjas, and everything in between! It's such good fun to read aloud that it will become a firm favourite with kids and adults." - FOYLES, Birmingham ; "I didn't even get chance to read this as a bedtime story, as the book title captured my 7 year olds attention and he read it all himself" - @abbyandtheseedlings on InstagramMore details

Founder of Owlet Press, Sam's world changed in 2014 when he became a Dad. Having never thought of writing books, he was dramatically inspired by his children and the new universe he'd entered into. His book What Wesley Wore has now been translated all over the world. This title was inspired by the varied requests Sam received from reception school children during a storytime session.
"I self-published my first book in September 2017 and sold over 7,000 copies in the first 12 weeks. As I toured the book it became important to me to be able to create positive change for children through stories, working with new authors who have the same beliefs as I do."
