Description
Book SynopsisWhen Milo decides he''s going to tell a story, it seems like a great idea. The only problem is that he''s not sure how to start... what to put in the middle... or how to end it. With a little help from his family, some real-life inspiration, and a lot of imagination, Milo''s story is soon off to a flying start. If only his little brother and sister weren''t getting in the way. But then Milo learns the most important lesson of all about stories - that they are made to be shared.
