This book is fab! I love the idea that the children make up the story as they go along, giving them that freedom as writers and readers.

This is a Change the story book, it comes with different press out pieces for each page where the child can pick something different to put in the slot and then you read the story to them or they can read it themselves.
My granddaughter and I had the best times with this book, she loved to make it the silliest ever.
A beautiful book to make beautiful memories.

A simple story with an ingenious twist; pop-in-the-slot cut outs to customise the tale. Maybe get your storytimers to vote on how the story should proceed?
