The Cat in the Hat
by Dr Seuss
Two children stuck indoors on a wet afternoon are visited by a cat who turns the house upside down, with a goldfish protesting throughout, and tidies up just in time.
A story about children and animals, funny and silly in tone. We would put it with children of 4–6, and at a reading age of about 6 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.
