Ten-Word Tiny Tales

From former Waterstones Children's Laureate and winner of the Yoto Carnegie Medal for Writing Joseph Coelho, comes a compendium featuring twenty brilliantly illustrated tiny tales, each only ten words long!

âInvite me in,â she says, outside my tenth storey window...

Is it possible to spin a tale using just ten words? It most certainly is! In this unique and magnificent compendium designed to spark the imagination, Joseph Coelho brings us stories of underwater worlds, demon hamsters, bears in outer space, and portals to places unknown ... all in just ten words! Each tale has been paired with one of the finest illustrators working today – and, together, the words and pictures will create a space for creativity as young readers imagine how the story might unravel. They might even be inspired to pen a ten word tiny tale of their own!

Prefaced by a note from Joseph Coelho, and with two creative writing challenges at the back, this is the perfect gift for all those ready to unleash their imaginations.
