This imaginative collection of engaging short stories is perfect for all kids, from those who love reading, to those who struggle with books.
From a spaceship flight into a Black Hole, to a genie that comes out of a ketchup bottle; from a magical pen that knows all the answers to a test, to a crochet-loving pirate; these original short stories by bestselling author Kes Gray will excite and inspire young readers not only to read on, but also to write and illustrate their own stories.
Fast-paced, action-packed, and often very funny, The Good Bits is ideal for those kids who need a bit of encouragement to keep them reading. The layout, clever use of typography and black line illustrations make the stories exciting and approachable, and the short story form will draw even the most reluctant reader through to the satisfying and often humorous conclusions.
Written by award-winning children’s author Kes Gray, The Good Bits is exactly that – the brilliant characters, actions and settings that together spin a good story that demands to be read.
