Many kids love books enough to be aspiring writers, and in "Start with a Word" by bestselling author and creative writer Peter H. Reynolds, you'll find a brilliant journal-style book filled with amazing advice, fab illustrations and superb writing prompts to help you up your game when it comes to writing creatively.
Peter's exercises are designed to ease you gently into the art of taking what's in your head and expressing it on the page.
Whether you’re a budding wordsmith or a writerly type, these pages prompt you to gather words, put them together in unexpected ways, and to witness how new ideas, poems, characters, and stories are born.
As part of your everyday creative routine, the book works brilliantly - and if you (like us) have ever stared at a blank page with absolutely no clue what you want to write about, this book is like a tonic to boost your skills and get you thinking about writing in new and exciting ways.
Sum this book up in a sentence: A brilliant bag-sized lay-flat journal specially for creative writing types, with tons of brilliant exercises, illustrations and writing prompts to give your pen or pencil a turbo-boost!

What To Do If An Elephant Stands On Your Foot
OK everybody stay calm, DON'T PANIC! Michelle Robinson and Peter H. Reynolds are here with some handy hints if you find yourself stuck in the jungle. First of all, don't panic! Second - do not, repeat, do NOT lose your copy of "What To Do If An Elephant Stands On Your Foot" otherwise things are only going to go from bad to worse (or verse!)
This brilliant book is part instruction manual, part story, and part laugh-a-minute as a young girl finds out just how dangerous the roaming plains of the savannah and the steamy leafy jungle can be. Elephants are just one of the dangers you might encounter. You might tick off a Tiger, create havoc with a crocodile or get snacked on by a snake. Thank goodness for books like this to ensure we steer clear of such dangerous places and sticky situations by following them to the letter. Or do we?
Loved this hugely funny and entertaining book with great 'preventative' measures described in jocular detail, and with fab animal characters generally looking like they'd either like to make dinner of or squish the poor little explorer lass.
Charlotte's best bit: Cuddling the rescue monkeys, awww!
Daddy's Favourite Bit: Brilliant humour, ace illustrations and a character who's completely oblivious to how close she comes to being food not a friend. Also loved the expression on the Tiger's face when he's sneezed on!
