Stories for Summer

Twenty all-new stories of summertime, full of adventure, fun and a generous pinch of magic. A mermaid who struggles with singing finds her true gift; a lonely child makes a tiny dragon friend at the beach; an ice-cream seller finds a book of magical recipes; and a miserable summer is rescued when a boy finds an antique lamp... Beautifully descriptive language, pacy stories and lively illustrations make for a deliciously moreish collection, perfect for encouraging developing and newly-confident readers.
