This is an innovative and well-thought out storybook which could be considered, in the loosest terms, as something akin to the old, yet deeply wonderful, Jackson and Livingstone 'Choose Your Own Adventure books'. Each page, A3 in size has all the ingredients to take the reader upon a quest of their choosing. Using their eyes or their fingers ( my son wanted to trace the path with his fingers each time) the reader chooses a path and this creates the framework for a story which culminates as the pages are turned.

What I found from playing with this book with my son (3) was how rich the discussion was around the elements of the story he was creating with the prompts and how often he wanted to explore and tell his own stories without me. Because the framework of the storytelling is as simple or as complicated as you want to make it, it means that it is extremely accessible and, equally, has the potential to be diverse and rich in planning. A great starting point for those children who find it difficult to build up language when telling stories; a super paired reading opportunity where children can create stories together and also just a lot of fun. I would absolutely have this in my class from Foundation all the way to KS2 (Year 4)
