Old Bear
by Jane Hissey
Old Bear has been left in the attic for years. The other toys try a tower of building blocks, a paper aeroplane and a toy lift to get him down.
A story about animals, gentle and warm in tone. We would put it with children of 3–6, and at a reading age of about 5 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.
