Ten-Word Tiny Tales of Love is another amazing book in Joseph Coelho and friends' brilliant series. The collection of tiny tales will inspire pupils young and old to write their own stories around these themes. At the back of the book there is carefully created guidance of 'How to lengthen a Ten Word Tiny Tale', which is hugely helpful and thought-provoking. The section 'Parts of a story' gives five parts of a story to focus on when creating your own; this is very useful to discuss with children when they are focusing on their creative writing.

Beautiful illustrations accompanying each ten-word story, meaning that you will spend hours looking at this wonderful book, noticing different elements each time. This is a must-have book for every classroom book corner and every Primary teacher. Many children will love having this at home to create their own stories at bedtime.
