So the eight year old got this book:

and it’s pretty amazing.  It works like this:

 and we wanted to share some story prompts with you.

• “Write a thank you note from–a computer–that is very lonely.
  
• “Write a silly story about–a bed–that can talk.”
  
• “Write about your friend who is–a backpack–that wants to be a person.”
  
• “Compare yourself with–a newspaper–that never does what it should.”
  
• “Write a thank you note from–a sandwich–that wants to be a movie star.”
  
• “Make a poster that tries to get people to buy–a monster–that knows what people are thinking.”
  

So there you go.  Your next story prompt.  You’re welcome.
