I was at a local office supplies store last week to buy a few reams of paper when I saw a book at the till called "If I Were ...". It is a compilation of one page stories written by children, aged 7 to 13. The stories all start with the phrase "If I were ..." and include both a picture of the original entry (I'm assuming it was a contest of sorts) and the typed, legible text of the story. I bought one just to look at, and now I've decided to give it away as a gift this Christmas.

I think it's the best gift I'm going to be giving.
