Making Reading Fun
To
develop a love of reading, kids need to enjoy stories. Sandra Arthur
has developed a range of early learning books that both young children
can
enjoy at bedtime or challenge older children to read
aloud because they are witty and fun.
The role parents can provide by
reading to their children is most important, and the unusual topics
covered in Sandra's stories should appeal, amuse and educate. We hope these stories will
help kids build vocabulary and provide a backcloth to discuss music,
travel,
food, environment issues and dreams. This site also aims to
provide additional literacy resources for
parents and educators and to invite all to "join the conversation" on
how best to make reading fun.
"The stories inside books are more than a gentle escape. They are a life raft."

It's been another great year. We've launched four new titles, including one in French (La Gondole Doree) and another (Crocodile Attack) as our "all singing and dancing" audio eBook for the ipad.
We've met many of our fans at special story-telling workshops and our books have been shared far and wide around the world. Best of all, we have been able to support a variety of charities that are featured in our support section. We thank you for all feedback, comments and support. We look forward to sharing more reading fun in 2013. May your new year be filled with Golden Moments!
