Description

Step into a world of micro-tales that pack a mighty punch of humour!

Short Stories presents ten hilarious encounters between unexpected animal pairings, each told with remarkable economy. From the unseen dangers of a hedgehog at a birthday party to the unexpected uses of a chameleon’s colour-changing abilities, these bite-sized narratives showcase the art of storytelling at its most precise and playful.

Silvia Borando’s masterful comic timing turns each page into a lesson in narrative craft. With just a few words and simple illustrations, she creates moments of surprise, irony, and pure delight that will have readers of all ages chuckling.

This collection is more than just a funny book — it’s a masterclass in brevity and wordplay.
Perfect for:

  • Young writers looking to craft their own micro-narratives
  • Teachers seeking an ideal tool to spark creativity in the classroom
  • Families searching for funny books that support early literacy goals

Short Stories proves that when it comes to humour and narrative, less can definitely be more.
