I have compiled over 100 of the best stories for kids to enjoy in 2019.
We have been really lucky and Freddie has always enjoyed reading. Even from a young baby, he would always enjoy looking through soft books. Fast forward 8 years and he still absolutely loves reading all types of books. We have books in every room of the house, from reference books to reading books.
