Winter Tales uses the themes of Winter, holidays, family, seasonal fun and familiar but exciting ideas to help children think and write creatively. Winter Tales is the third book in the popular Creative Writing for Kids series. It can be read alongside those or enjoyed by itself. Lots of pictures and story-starter tasks, poetry, real-life description, and two projects, The Christmas Play and Journey to Winter's End. Longer tasks are broken into short sections so that they can be completed a bit at a time.
