A new story unfolds with every turn of a flap in this playful jigsaw puzzle of a book. Each page is divided into four tunable mini-pages that mix and match to create 10,000 different story combinations, each with its own unique watercolour illustration. Some story combinations make sense, some come out downright surreal and each one is as quirky and imaginative as the next.
An amazing book to read to your childrenas the story changes each time
When will Michael find true love? What was it that pushed Elmo over the edge? Ten Thousand Stories lets the reader piece together each hilarious, gripping, or tragic tale. Part Exquisite Corpse and part Choose Your Own Disaster, this offbeat treasure is an addictive pleasure to play alone or to share.
