The Kingfisher Treasury of Stories for Six Year Olds by Edward Blishen
This entertaining collection of stories is designed to appeal to six year olds, with appropriate themes and vocabulary for them to learn as they read. The selection ranges from classic stories by Joel Chandler Harris and sensitive retellings of fairy tales and legends from around the world to short stories by the best contemporary writers for children, such as Philippa Pearce, Alison Uttley, Margaret Mahy, Leila Berg, Terry Jones and many others. The stories are illustrated throughout with humorous black-and-white drawings by Tizzie Knowles. This anthology is an ideal way of introducing young readers to new challenges as well as new authors.
