This worked so well! It's also short, sweet, and well-written. Most importantly, it's fun! The format is great, as it brings a real interactive element to the story. Children don't just finish it and put it to the side because they need to think about what they want to happen next - in turn, encouraging creativity and problem solving. -Millie G
