The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories: Vol. 3 by Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a collection of stories from 82 contributors out of the 35,905 contributions to the Tiny Stories collaboration on hitrecord.org -- and the profits from the sale of the book will be split among the 82 contributors, which include writers and artists, and the Website. Some of these stories are so small, they consist of just one sentence, while others are several sentences. All of them are accompanied by an image, which is an interpretation of the words on the page or vice versa. Some images and stories together will make readers laugh, but most of these stories are guaranteed to generate at least a smile. Here are a few of my favorites:

There are very few images with color, but those that do have color, do so for a purpose relevant to the story they portray. The book is clearly a winner, especially for those that have very little time to read or even look at art -- this book combines both, and there are some talented artists in these pages with varied imaginations. The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories: Vol. 3 by Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a great diversion when there is little time between appointments or tasks.
