Spring Story
by Jill Barklem
It is Wilfred's birthday in Brambly Hedge, and the mice of the hedgerow arrange a surprise picnic while keeping him busy all morning.
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 6 for reading alone.
Nothing flagged

Part of a series
This one belongs to the Brambly Hedge 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.
