This review is from: My Gran: Country Stories for Young Children (Paperback)

I have really enjoyed reading this book to my 5 year old daughter and she has enjoyed it too. The book is a collection of short stories and poems following the months of the year, for example Apple Picking in October and Kite Flying in March. The stories really capture traditional childhood experiences in the British countryside. Each story stands alone which makes it ideal for bed time reading when time is short, and also for children who are moving away from picture books.
