Lets Tell A Story: Pirate Adventure

Every page asks a question and the child chooses the answer from a spread of glorious illustrated options: which pirate are you, what's your ship, what do you find on the island, what is the sea monster wearing? The stories that come out of this are completely unhinged and absolutely wonderful, and no two are ever the same.

We love it because:

• The combination of questions and pictures means children are genuinely making up their own story, not just following one: a pirate milkshake bar, a sparkly eyepatch, an island made of chocolate, a tentacled sea monster. Each choice leads somewhere brilliant and unexpected
• Stef Murphy's illustrations are packed with detail and character: the kind of pictures that reward a really good look before you even start choosing, and that children will want to go back to again and again
• Millions of possible combinations is not an exaggeration: this book genuinely never gets old, which is not something you can say about most things
• A brilliant choice for a child who loves stories but also wants to be in charge of them (so, most children)
