The Kingfisher treasury of stories for seven year olds Book

Seven is an age when many children begin to read on their own. But it is also a time when they cope with longer and more wide ranging stories read to them by others. As a child grows up, something that doesn't change is the love of a book at bedtime. One of the best things grown-ups can do is to entertain with stories. The traditional and modern tales in this book are some of the finest, by writers such as Isaac Bashevis Singer, Rudyard Kipling, Margaret Mahy, and Arthur Ransome. In language that is simple and direct, they mix the amazing with the down-to-earth; tales that tickle the funny-bone with stories that are reassuringly familiar. As you finish one, you are certain to get demands for more.
