Dr Xargle's Book of Earthlets
by Jeanne Willis
An alien teacher explains human babies to his class, getting almost everything slightly and hilariously wrong before taking them on a field trip.
A story about magical creatures, funny and wry in tone. We would put it with children of 4–7, and at a reading age of about 6 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.
