Totally Weird Activity Books

Why kids love our books...

The Totally Weird Activity Books series is a three-book collection made to entertain kids, spark their creative imaginations, and get them writing and drawing. Co-created by lifelong friends Mark Penta (the illustrator) and T.M. Murphy (the writer) the books are filled with dozens of exciting stories accompanied by eye-grabbing illustrations. But here's the best part; two of the books, Super Strange Story Starters and Unusual Objects in Fantastic Places contain stories ending with cliffhangers and blank lined pages so that kids can finish writing each story themselves. And in Creative Coloring and Far-Out Fun! younger kids can color the pages, finish comics, solve mysterious jumbles, and more!

Why teachers love our books...

In the classroom, kids often need that creative "starting point", a prompt to spark their imagination and get them working. The Totally Weird Activity Books help them do just that! Imagine a class full of kids excitedly writing, coloring, and drawing in the books, revealing their inner storyteller and artist. They'll feel the success that comes from creating something uniquely their own!
