One story for every day of the year fills this treasury, each of them short enough to finish before a child's eyes close.
The tales run through princesses and fairies, friendships tested and mended, and girls who solve their own problems, with kindness, courage and imagination recurring across the collection. Because the stories are set out day by day, the book builds a reading habit almost by itself: find today's date, read, close the book. Illustrations accompany the text throughout, and the volume is thick enough to last a full year without repeating.
How it is arranged:
• A dated story for each day, so the year has a built-in reading plan.
• Tales sized for a few minutes of bedtime reading.
• Recurring themes of friendship, bravery and imagination.
• Colour illustrations running through the whole treasury.
For children of about four to nine, for parents keeping a nightly reading routine and for gift-givers wanting one book that lasts; published by OM Books and available from Boipoka.
