Illustrated Treasury of Bedtime Stories

Bedtime is the organising idea behind this DK collection, whose stories are paced and sized for the last reading of the day. Each tale arrives with full-colour artwork and characters drawn to be recognised again on later nights, and the selection leans towards warmth and a settled ending rather than excitement. Lengths are kept manageable for an adult reading aloud, while the clear type and generous spacing suit a child beginning to take the book over. For the browsing reader: • Stories chosen and paced for reading at the end of the day • Full-colour illustration accompanying every story • Gentle endings rather than cliffhangers • Type and spacing that support a child reading independently Made for parents reading aloud and for young readers moving towards doing it themselves, published by DK.
