Pick a Story: A Monster + Princess + Shark Adventure (Sarah Coyle)

Do you love monsters? How about princesses? And sharks? Find them ALL in the pages of this laugh-out-loud ‘pick your own’ picture book adventure!

Zara is enjoying a day at the beach, when she realised – horror! – that Old Ted has disappeared. He may be old and worn . . . but Zara needs him back, and she needs YOUR help to find him!

Has Old Ted been taken by a monster? Or pinched by a princess? Or snapped up by a shark? It’s up to YOU to decide!

Pick a Story is the ONLY series where young readers choose between three completely different worlds – allowing them to change the story as it happens. Children are excited by having choice and a feeling of agency, and it fires their imaginations.

Choice and value! Readers choose the direction of the adventure on every page. With endless story paths to be taken, the adventure is always different.

Packed with activities! Each page includes an activity, such as search-and-find, odd-one-out, mazes and more, woven seamlessly into the narrative – perfect for immersing and engaging young readers.
