Nice stories submitted by Duckling on July 26, 2017, 12:53pm These stories are great if you have a small child that is learning to read and wants to read a bed time story. Nothing too scary and they are all pretty short but depending on how fast your child reads it could seem like a very long story. I would recommend for children from 3 to 7 years old. Obviously, the younger ones wont be able to read but reading to them will make them happy too.
