The Story Factory
What happens when the factory that makes books stops working? A whimsical celebration of creativity, bookmaking, and original storytelling.
Once upon a time, all the books in the world were manufactured at one place—the Story Factory!
The workers at the story factory know exactly what it takes to make a book: characters, a plot, vocabulary, and punctuation. All the same elements are used over and over again, and everything has a precise order. Nothing new or original is ever added to the stories—that is, until the day the factory suddenly stops producing books. The workers must locate and remove the clog in the machinery, and what they find may just change the way they make books forever. With fun and wonderfully intricate illustrations, Jam Dong’s charming story is a joyful ode to the imagination and to what it is that makes books so special.

This book includes the many parts necessary to make a story. At the same time, it shows the importance of creativity in composing new stories. I wanted to cheer at the end when new stories were welcomed by everyone.
