What makes a great story? How are stories made? This clever and unique look at storytelling can help us to understand that great stories need more than exciting and imaginative settings... Meet Bella - she's not that rabbit, nor the squirrel, she's the hills, and the trees, and everything in the background. But today, she's taking control and creating her own story. Today, she's Bella the Storyteller, and she wants her story to have dragons and dinosaurs and pirates and unicorns and aliens in space! This is going to be the best story ever...but Rabbit and Squirrel might not agree.
