Story Bench

The Story Bench is a collection of stories written by a grandfather with his grandsons. Jacob and Isaac Wilkinson began writing stories with their grandfather, Wallace D. Campbell, before they started to kindergarten. Jacob wrote his first book, Did You Ever Wonder, An ABC Picture Book before entering kindergarten. He followed that with a book written for his younger brother, Isaac, Who Taught Caterpillars to Spin Cocoons? Not to be outdone by his big brother, Isaac wrote What Was God Thinking? An ABC Picture Book before he started kindergarten. The young authors are now reading chapter books in the elementary school that they attend, so they have moved on to writing short stories. Although the brothers now live in Naples, Florida, and Grandpa lives in Xenia, Ohio, they still write stories every time they get together.
