Description: With every page you turn, an ever-changing story unfolds! What could possibly connect a soccer field, a fairy-tale castle, a swimming pool, an astronaut who has landed on the moon, and a western movie? What about a fire-breathing volcano, a Dimetrodon, and a UFO? Or a wartime battlefield, an ice rink, and a polar bear? Max Ducos captivates readers with this wonderfully unique book format. Inside, you'll find ten scenes, each cleverly divided into three sections — top, middle, and bottom. Because each section can be flipped independently, you can combine countless different images together. Choose whichever scenes you like and flip through them to create your own one-of-a-kind stories. By mixing and matching the sentences printed on each strip, you can create as many as 1,000 different stories! Take a look at the front cover first: fireworks, a soccer field, and a swimming pool all appear together. Beneath a sky glowing brightly with countless fireworks, a soccer match is in full swing. Below that, people are swimming and happily watching the game from the pool. At first glance it might not seem too strange, but soon you'll wonder, 'Wait — can you actually watch a soccer game from a swimming pool?' and realize just how wonderfully odd the scene really is. The cover illustration is a jumbled combination of different situations. What was really happening on that soccer field in the original picture? What were the people in the pool actually watching, if not a soccer match? And what else might be happening beneath all those fireworks? Have you only ever read books with a fixed main character and a fixed ending? In this book, the reader becomes the author — choosing the characters and situations to create absolutely any story imaginable. Rather than simply reading, children can let their imaginations soar freely and build their very own story world. By engaging with the book almost like a game, kids can break free from the idea that books are boring and feel one step closer and more comfortable with reading. Test the limits of your imagination! You might just find you can create even more than a thousand stories. Go ahead and knock on the door of the imaginative world sleeping inside your mind!
