Are you a primary school student anywhere in the world? Do you love DOGS? Do you love writing stories? Then it’s time to enter my latest international Clever Competition, The Dashing Dog Story Competition!
Introducing Desmond Dog, the latest loveable character in the Chinese Calendar Tales series! Like all Chinese Zodiac dogs, he’s brave, noble and kind, and he LOVES protecting his little village, keeping everybody safe from harm! And of course, his Year of the Chinese Zodiac is just around the corner!
So it’s about time that we had a story writing competition all about DOGS! This time I want you to write me a story about a typical Chinese Zodiac Dog, like Desmond. I want him to be brave, kind, honourable and above all, DASHING!! You also must have
- a title for your story, the more interesting the better!
- a Chinese setting – be that a village, a city, a river, a lake, a mountain or even a Chinese planet in the future! So you’ll have to do a bit of research, and make sure to include lots of details which make the setting typically Chinese!
- a scary typhoon!
- a flying fish with golden scales
- a wise philosopher
- an evil cat
- the colour mikado – and if you don’t know what colour that is, you’ll have to look it up!
Go to my Clever Competitions page here for all the details, rules and information.
The deadline date is Friday 23rd March, so pick up that paper and pen and get ready…get set…WOOF!

Mrs. Brennan:
Is it okay if I say in my story that the philosopher is the flying fish’s ancestor, and god granted him another life when he died?
Thank you!

Mrs Brennan:
Is it OK if I add a poor merchant with a greedy wife that steals all his pay?
