DEAR DOCTOR

AILMENT

DEAR READING DOCTOR,

I like to write stories and draw pictures to go with them, and then give them to people for birthday presents. Sometimes I have loads of ideas for stories, and sometimes I don’t. I asked my teacher about it and she said that imagination is like a muscle … the more you use it, the better it works. Because we do leg exercises and arm exercises in PE, I thought that maybe there are also imagination exercises. Are there any books that I can read to help make my imagination really strong?
