Good Bits: Bits of Stories. Endless Fun.

About this book

From the author of the wonderful Oi Frog! comes a collection of superb short stories that are instantly engaging and irresistibly immersive – not to mention downright hilarious! 

Meet a three-nostrilled, fire breathing headteacher; sail through shark-infested waters with a pirate prankster and his Jelly Roger flag; take a UFO driving lesson at night... and much more besides!

Each of the unique, standalone stories catapult the reader into the heart of the narrative from the very first word, and they are all deeply imaginative. Throughout the book, the text is complemented by Ruby Wright’s brilliantly playful illustrations, which add bundles of character to the narratives. 

This is a great choice for children who may have less reading stamina but love a good story, or for those readers who enjoy dipping in and out of a book. Its mix of genres also works well as an engaging introduction to reading fiction more widely, which may inspire children to engage with longer narratives based on emerging interests.  

This book would also work well as a teaching resource to prompt and explore creative writing in school.
