10 Ten-Minute Fairy Stories

Ten minutes is the realistic limit of a tired child's attention, and every story in this collection is written to fit inside it. Ten fairy tales fill the book, each self-contained so a reading can end cleanly rather than trailing into a promise to finish tomorrow. Illustrations run alongside the text, and the predictable length makes the book easy to build into a bedtime routine or to slot into a spare stretch of a school day. How it works on the page: • Ten separate tales, each timed for a short reading session • Stories that finish properly instead of stopping mid-thread • Illustration throughout to hold a listener's attention • Length consistent enough to plan a routine around Handy for parents at bedtime, teachers reading to a class and children starting to read alone, published by Usborne Books and stocked at Boipoka.
