This hilarious and imaginative debut picture book fromThe New Yorkercartoonist Avi Steinberg encourages kids to explore their own creativity by telling three wonderfully wild and wacky stories at the same time.

Once upon a time there was a story no one has ever heard before, inspired by a carrot on the run, a knight who’d trade his sword for a pal, and an alien who just wants to get some rest and relaxation. It’s a story about how to tell a story.

From choosing a main character to crafting a problem to solve to arriving at a satisfying conclusion, readers will learn storytelling tools in this playful, interactive read-aloud.

Whimsically witty and gloriously goofy,A Story No One Has Ever Heard Beforeis perfect for fans ofThe Book with No PicturesandDragons Love Tacos.
