A Year Full of Stories

by Georgie Adams

Each day of the year becomes special in this one-of-a-kind treasury!

The whole world of childhood is contained in this big, bold, boisterous treasury. On January 1, read a story about the new year. On February 14, how about a Valentine tale? In April there's a rainy-day poem, and you'll find a seaside story in July. Every day of the year—even leap year—there's a delightful, child-friendly story or poem to enjoy.

Magical tales and memorable, jaunty verses are mixed with everyday stories in which children will recognize their own lives. And there's a large cast of charming characters to meet: Potter Pig, Noah and his friends; Doctor Dog and Nurse Kitty; Snitch and Snatch, the pirates; Police Chief Fox; the monsters Meeny, Miny, and Mo; and many others.

Read the collection one story a day, browse through it to find the birthday tales of everyone in your family, or just hop from here to there in a gleeful rush. This exceptional treasury, crammed to bursting with fun and invention, is a book to cherish, a book guaranteed to give endless pleasure.

Reviews

[Scott]

My kids wanted to give up on this during the April section. A good concept but the kids didn’t like the shortness of the stories and nursery rhymes.

[Rosa]

Such a sweet book, although I was never satisfied with just a poem when I was little. Illustrations are very cute. It's very British.

[Cara Hollingworth]

I read this every night to my daughter. When we finished, she wanted to go around again.

[Sophie Crane]

It is a wonderful collection of short stories for children up to 8 years. Good for the evenings.

Nice to read one every morning at breakfast, or one story before bed because there's one short read for every day of the year

[Nancy]

I call my granddaughter at night and read one of these before she goes to bed! Her favorite so far has been Go to Sleep, Little Bear! We have to read that every few days.
