Chris Riddell, former Booktrust Writer in Residence, has produced a sketchbook full of illustrations that are in search of a story.

There are three sets of illustrations for you to download, for ages 5+, 7+ and 11+. Each illustration is blank for your pupils to colour in, and has room alongside for making up their own story.

Download a booklet, pick the illustration that speaks to you, print out that page, and get started. Or, for a real challenge, write a story for each illustration in the booklet for a complete set!
