Kinds of stories
Some children want a thrill, some want magic, some want something they'll recognise from their own day. There isn't one kind of story that's best; there's one that suits your child. Each kind grows with the age and theme you choose.

Magic and enchantment, with "once upon a time". Talking animals, spells, and good that always wins.Adventure
Out and about, off discovering. Exciting and fast-moving, with obstacles to outwit.Fantasy
An invented world with rules of its own. Strange creatures, unusual powers, and anything can happen.Realistic
Ordinary and recognisable, with no magic. A story that could just as easily have happened at the child's own home.Make a story that suits your child
