The Magic of Books
As fairies are a strong believer in reading to children and sharing the magic of books and storytelling. We recommend these fantastic stories for young children, but this is not an inclusive list as there are so many excellent books to read with your child. It helps with Literacy and concentration,as well as allowing a shared moment with you and your little one. Reading and books are so important.
Today's session is a creature feature and is based around Eric Carle's famous book "The very Hungry Caterpillar"
