One Snowy Night
by Nick Butterworth
Percy the park keeper is woken by animals knocking at his door on the coldest night of the year, and lets in one more than his hut can hold.
A story about animals and a grown-up hero, 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.
Nothing flagged

Part of a series
This one belongs to the Percy the Park Keeper series, so there is more to read if it goes down well — which is worth a great deal with a reluctant reader.

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.
