I was so pleased to discover this book. My son has never enjoyed writing and I was looking for a way to put some fun into it. This book was a godsend for me. It has been a great success for us, as my son has got into the habit of using it and doesn't dread writing as much because he is enjoying it more. The book has useful sections on creating characters and making plans for stories. There are other skills to pick up too such as using dialogue or making a comic book strip. This is a very handy resource for parents who have a reluctant writer, or it could equally be used for a child who who enjoys writing to develop their creative talents.

Ok

Great to see a ‘How to’ book for creative writing which breaks all the components down into manageable chunks with fun activities for each. My 13 year old used the book to inspire her 7 year old sister to think about her story writing and they both really enjoyed working through the activities together. It’s very clear to follow and helpful for a child to see how all the elements build up. Well-presented, fun, altogether excellent - ideal for 7-11 yer olds, both boys and girls.

Creative Writing Skills by Lexi Rees is an excellent guide and workbook for anyone wanting to write or seeking to improve their story writing skills. It should capture the imagination of all children in the seven to eleven range, which the book is aimed at. But it would be good for older people too.It would make a great gift, being full of entertaining activities; building characters, ideas and skills; and helping to create story lines. Organised into eight sections, these include thoughtful themes, dynamite dialogue and story sparks, all of which should encourage and develop the enthusiasm of any young person. I think this book should be on every school's book list, and on every family's Christmas shopping list too.

The books is very good, encouraging my 8year old to think and be creative with her writing. It's quite fun and she enjoys the activities in the book. The book guides through each activity which makes it an easy and fun activity.

My daughter is a very reluctant writer and I was trying to find her a book that would make writing more fun for her and maybe change her mind about writing. Well I can safely say she is having a great time with this book, it really makes creative writing much more fun and for my daughter it is perfect springboard to get her to try and enjoy writing more.

This book has many funny activities inside for those reluctant to practice. My son asked me whether he could use it for practice after he read a few pages, surprisingly. And he finally liked to work on a book for practice writing.I'm quite satisfied with this book, but do hope there's more instructions.

My daughter throughly enjoys this creative work book. It’s her summer ‘fun activity’ which usually is a hit or miss but this one is a hit!!!

I used this for to supplement my 4th graders language arts. He really likes it and I thought it was well worth the money. My only complaint is there are no page numbers, so when I was writing out assignments I had to ad them. Not a deal breaker.

Good book for kids and helps with writing and good idea to build up your writing skills.

This book breaks down the topics and makes it fun and engaging foe the kids!

Great way to break up the parts of writing a creative story with fun activities to try out to get your creative juices going. Im using it with my 3rd grader for homeschool and she has come up with some great creations using this.
