Short Too!

This is the sixth book in the series of either short stories or short poems. This new book is the first to be published for a few years and is the usual mix of humorous, tragic, frightening and clever tales. Apart from the obvious unifying feature that they are all short, they are also effective and memorable.Many are similar to other stories that have appeared over the years but this collection brings them together and others are completely original. Who could fail to feel a brief breeze of unease when they read "Nightmare" or laugh out loud when they read "Hairy"?The stories are so enjoyable that I know a teacher who has purchased this latest tome as this former literacy coordinator wants to complete their collection and to enjoy these yarns, even though they have no class of students to share them with anymore!

I bought this book for my class of 9-11 year olds and they love it, the stories can be used for creative writing, studying grammar or just quiet reading, excellent book!

my kids enjoyed......good for kids who are not that great at starting a big book and getting through it, nice short stories to keep them interested

Great as time filler and comprehension.

Received on time. Great for children.

Boys seem to like the stories more than girls. They are just the right length.

As a supply teacher, my year five pupils love a little bit of horror at the end of the day. Nothing too weird but well pitched for older KS2.
