I bought this to supplement my writing curriculum for my son who will enter fourth grade in our homeschool in the fall. He is eight years old and a reluctant writer. This book is an idea book - there are no instructions or writing tips - it is like a journal with an idea at the top of the page. This is what I needed for him. Yes, you could probably come up with creative ideas on your own but this saves time and really gears the ideas towards something kids would enjoy writing about. The pages each start with an idea to write about and then you have lines to write on. I will use loose paper for the actual writing in order to use the book with my younger son or even reuse the ideas once the 8 year old gets older. I think this book is a great resource to supplement a reading program or to do extra projects with your kids if they go to school. I love the creative ideas that are in the book - the ideas make writing less of a chore for the kids out there who may not love writing or for the kids who love writing and want to explore more with creativity. I would recommend this book.
I am a primary school teacher and bought this to share with my class. The prompts are very creative and really inspire imaginative writing. They even get my reluctant writers going. This is highly recommended for teachers, or for parents with kids who ask 'what should I write about'.
We gave this to our 8 year old granddaughter. She loves it. It presents a situation and she has to present a solution or explain what is happening. Should be good for ages 7-8 and up to early teens.
This book helps a lot with writers' block I'm glad I bought this book because even though it's meant for young writers it helps me dive into my imagination and will help me if I ever decide to write a children's book.
How wonderful this is for young would-be writers! My daughter is 7 and loves to write, and I've had a hard time finding a guided journal that's appropriate for her (there are plenty for teens and tweens-- but they say things about dating, school lockers, etc.). Imagine my delight when a neighbor bought this for my daughter... it's perfect!These questions really can apply to a wide range of ages. They work great for my daughter, but I can see that they'd easily be appropriate for much older kids, too. (Probably not younger than 6 unless you have a super-advanced kiddo.)She dug right in as soon as she opened the book, with fun-to-answer questions like "Your dog has won a free trip to the moon. What do you pack for him?" and funny story-starters like "One day Jessica wakes up and realizes she is magnetic." There's enough here to keep kids writing for a couple of years if they attack one prompt per day on average.This is just a delightfully creative book and I'm glad we have it. I just wish the cover were hardcover so that it would be easier to keep as a keepsake for many years to come.
I ordered one of these for each kid ages 8,10, and 12. They love them! You can really see their personalities come out in the small stories and paragraphs they are inspired to write. This went over very well as a Christmas gift as it takes some time to do and it is very entertaining. The questions and topics are thought provoking and funny.
I bought this book for my niece. Great book to spark creative writing. Some idea's arejust funny, others thought provoking. I would recommend this book.
I bought for my grand kids and was surprised that some of the subjects were a little more adult but it is really thought provoking. Recommend it highly. I first saw this book at Barns and Noble and it was over $6.00 more than on .
