What comes out

The whole shelf, and whose idea each one was

There is nothing on this page to choose from. Every one of these is an example of what a child settles on once it starts asking — who it is about, where it happens, what goes wrong, how it ends. They are grouped by the Story World they were made in, and each is written for whoever is listening, which is why a board book and a book with a turn in it are on the same shelf.
