Ten-Word Tiny Tales
Joseph Coelho and Friends
From Joseph Coelho comes a compendium featuring twenty brilliantly illustrated tiny tales, each only ten words long!
'Invite me in,' she says, outside my tenth storey window...
Is it possible to spin a tale using just ten words? It most certainly is! In this unique and magnificent compendium designed to spark the imagination, Joseph Coelho brings us stories of underwater worlds, demon hamsters, bears in outer space, and portals to places unknown ... all in just ten words! Each tale has been paired with one of the finest illustrators working today – and, together, the words and pictures will create a space for creativity as young readers imagine how the story might unravel. They might even be inspired to pen a ten word tiny tale of their own!
Prefaced by a note from Joseph Coelho, and with two creative writing challenges at the back, this is the perfect gift for all those ready to unleash their imaginations.
Review
Alexa Dretzke
Every now and then a children’s book is so distinctively creative that it invites the reader to participate in its magic and fire up their imagination. Ten-Word Tiny Tales is one such book.
Joseph Coelho has created 20 tiny tales, each made up of only 10 words, and the art work for each tale is uniquely portrayed by 20 illustrators, several of whom you will know, others you will not, but all will affect you in some way or other. Could you illustrate your own response to a tale? Or maybe you will be inspired to write your own tiny tale to accompany an illustration.
This is a book teachers could use with upper primary students as it offers scope for creative writing and/or graphic representation.
Ten-Word Tiny Tales is one of the picture books that has enthused and delighted me the most this year. I am sure readers will be captivated by the brilliant possibilities in the words and images and I guarantee they will not be bored. For ages 6+.
