Can't You Sleep, Little Bear?
by Martin Waddell
Little Bear cannot sleep because the cave is too dark. Big Bear brings lanterns, each one bigger than the last, and finally carries him outside.
A story about animals and families, gentle and warm in tone. We would put it with children of 3–5, and at a reading age of about 4 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
