365 Fairy Tales

Three hundred and sixty-five short tales gathered from storytelling traditions across the world, arranged for one reading at a time. The collection draws on folk and fairy stories with the shape children recognise quickly: a problem, a test, and a clever or kind resolution. Because each entry is brief, the book works as a nightly ritual rather than a single long sitting, and a parent can finish one without negotiating for more time. The range of sources means characters and settings change constantly, which keeps the format from feeling repetitive across a year of reading aloud. A quick look inside: • A year's worth of short tales, one for each day • Stories selected from several different cultural traditions • Length judged for bedtime reading aloud • A single volume that stands in for a shelf of separate picture books A practical choice for parents of early primary children and for classrooms that end the day with a story, available from Boipoka.
