The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me
by Roald Dahl
An empty shop is taken over by a window-cleaning company consisting of a giraffe, a pelican and a monkey, and Billy joins them.
A story about children and animals, funny and warm in tone. We would put it with children of 6–9, and at a reading age of about 7 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.
