Book Review: The Usborne Write Your Own Storybook

The Usborne Write Your Own Storybook

Recommended ages 8 and up

Publisher: Usborne Books & More

The Usborne Write Your Own Storybook is great for creative kids who love to make up their own stories and comic strips. It is also a great book to add a little fun to your language arts homeschool curriculum, which is how I am using it with my 8 year old daughter.

This book is full of activities to spark kids creativity and imagination. It also has the space for them to be able to write their stories in this book.

Here is the table of contents.

She loved this part where she could write all the names of her stories, and it correlates to the page number they are on.

My 8 year old daughter was immediately intrigued when she saw this book. She has always been interested in writing stories, but sometimes doesn't know where to start. This book was excellent at not only giving her ideas to spark her creativity, but it also tells you the parts of a story and how to put the story together.

The book has a great section on making up a character, and it gives kids a diagram to fill in to help them create an interesting character.

There are many sections that teach kids many different writing styles, and each section has its own description and inspiring ideas to get you started.

Some of the sections that are included are:

Writing from a different point of view

Finishing a partially written story

Writing a story about a picture

Create your own fairy tale

Comic strip writing

Writing a time travel story

Create your own superhero adventure

Whodunnit: writing a mystery

Top secret spy mission

Pony Trouble: write what happens next

Your Story the Movie: Create a Cast List and Soundtrack

Towards the back of the book is a story writing toolkit. This section has a lot of tips to help your kids plan stories and develop their writing skills. Like all Usborne books this book has colorful pages and fun illustrations to make learning fun.

The book itself has a really nice feel to it. It is a hardcover book with a hidden spiral spine so that the book will lay flat for an easier time writing. 

There are so many topics and activities to keep your child engaged, learning, and having fun for hours! I was amazed when I gave this book to my daughter, and she spent nearly 3 hours captivated by writing in this book. I highly recommend it!

Also what an excellent keepsake book this would be filled with stories that were all written by your child!
