Anything can happen. Unicorns can have trumpets for horns and carrots can talk. You, as the reader, get to learn about what makes a good story. First, you have to pick the character, then you get to decide what problem you character has to solve. All good stories have some sort of problem. This book walks young readers through important elements of a story and encourages imagination.

Steinberg talks directly to the reader. It teaches important story elements and incorporates cartoon-like illustrations. This book empowers young writers to create their own fun stories.
