The Tale of Peter Rabbit
by Beatrix Potter
Told not to go into Mr McGregor's garden, Peter goes anyway, eats a great deal, loses his jacket and shoes, and very nearly does not get out.
A story about animals, gentle and wry in tone. We would put it with children of 3–6, 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.
