Just So Stories
by Rudyard Kipling
How the camel got his hump, how the elephant got his trunk, and how the cat arranged to walk wherever it liked — told to be read aloud.
A story about animals, funny and epic in tone. We would put it with children of 5–9, and at a reading age of about 8 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.
