          5. Author Michael Rosen delves into Roald Dahl

          No, it's more the idea that if children get interested in a writer or a book or an area or scene of some sort, if they are given a sense of where writing comes from, that it isn't a mystery.

          I go into schools and children say to me: "How do the words get from me into a book?" They quite seriously don't know and there's no reason why they should.

          It's just mysterious.

          So part of the job of writers I think, as well as creating these wonderful stories, is to show them that it isn't totally mysterious; that when they are sitting in school with a pencil in their hand, they are doing just the same as writers do.

          So that's part of the job of writing this book.

          What tools do young children need in order to be inspired to write imaginative stories?

          It's not just a matter of finding words; it's also a way of thinking about how you turn your life and things that have happened in your life
