The Puffin Book of Stories for Five-year-olds

Description

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.
