Seven classic fairy tales, imaginatively retold and illustrated with specially commissioned paper-cut constructions

Stories prompted by research that shows that reading or being read to for just ten minutes every day will significantly improve children's reading skills. This short story collection supports this - each story is selected from Usborne's Reading Programme and will take about ten minutes to read. Ideal for sharing with younger children; as children learn to read on their own they can tackle these simple stories on their own. Part of Usborne's amazing selection of story books for young children. Previous title, '10 Ten-Minute Stories', also available ISBN: 9781409596745.
