Product Description
The best story is one that comes from the heart The library is having a contest for the best story, and the quirky narrator of this story just has to win that rollercoaster ride with her favorite author! But what makes a story the best? Her brother Tim says the best stories have lots of action. Her father thinks the best stories are the funniest. And Aunt Jane tells her the best stories have to make people cry. A story that does all these things doesnt seem quite right, though, and the one thing the whole family can agree on is that the best story has to be your own. Anne Wilsdorfs hilarious illustrations perfectly capture this colorful family and their outrageous stories in Eileen Spinellis heartfelt tale about creativity and finding your own voice.

A tall tale combined with whimsical drawings makes for a hilarious story September 7, 2008
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
When Quantz stops to pet a big red dog, he gets fleas - and when he trades them for a talking uncle, too much talk provides yet more troubles. He keeps trading up - until he reaches a surprising end. A tall tale combined with whimsical drawings makes for a hilarious story spiced with Britt Spencer's zany drawings. Eileen Spinelli's THE BEST STORY is enhanced by Anne Wilsdorf's fun drawings as it tells of a library contest for the best story written. A girl believes she'll win - but what elements contribute to a 'best' story line? Her survey of action, drama, and writing elements is inspirational and fun.
Eileen Spinelli Has Done it Again ! July 17, 2008

Eileen Spinelli, a master of capturing the poignant moments in children's lives has done it again with, The Best Story. The girl, seeking the advice of all family members, is writing a story to submit to The Red Brick Library story contest. None of the advice produces the story she can believe in until her mother suggests that, the best story, is one that comes from your heart. The author doesn't name the girl, nor give us the results of the contest which makes us think about what is important in life.
