The Usborne Writing Box 3 Books Collection Set (Creative Writing Book, Write Your Own Story Book, Writing Journal) Hardcover – 1 Jan. 2018

If, like me, you bought this thinking the writing journal was full of scaffolded writing tasks, you'll be disappointed to know that it's just a notebook full of lined paper.The other two books are lovely. Full of interesting tasks and guidance on what to include. I'd say they are suitable for Year 3 (age 8) and upwards. Just a shame the third is so disappointing.

Please be aware that the journal in this set is just a notebook. It does NOT contain the wealth of ideas in the separate 'Story Writer's Ideas Journal. This is an absolute rip-off. VERY disappointing because the original, separate journal is excellent. I have had to buy that separately to make this box set as useful as it should have been in the first place.VERY POOR MARKETING PLOY BY USBOURNE . . . GRAB YOUR MONEY AND REDUCE THE USEFULNESS OF THE SET.I would have awarded just one star to represent my disgust at their avaricious policy, but the other two books are good.
