The Puffin Book of Stories for Five-year-olds by Wendy Cooling
This wonderful collection of stories has been enjoyed in particular by children around the age of five years. Coming from all over the world, they include the tale of Eric and his elephant, of the hungry hedgehog who decides to eat hamburgers, of the Indian King who never takes a bath and of the little girl who yearns for a special pair of trainers. These are stories to enjoy alone, or to share with parents, friends, brothers and sisters.
Wendy Cooling (1941-2020) taught English in London secondary schools for many years before moving to BookTrust, a charity that supports reading to children and adults. There she founded Bookstart, their flagship national programme that gives books to babies and toddlers to encourage parents and carers to foster a lifelong a love of reading. Wendy edited many short story and poetry anthologies for children and travelled the world talking about children's books and the importance of reading. In 2006 she won the Eleanor Farjeon Award for her outstanding contribution to children's literature, and was honoured to receive an MBE from the Queen in 2009. Wendy died in June 2020, aged 78.
