Stuart Little
by E. B. White
The second son of an ordinary New York family is two inches high and looks like a mouse, and eventually sets off north to find a bird.
A story about animals and families, gentle and wry in tone. We would put it with children of 7–10, 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.
