Magic and fantasy stories

Candy-cloud kingdoms, unicorns baking magic cookies, paintings that leap off the wall and schools where magic begins on the first day. Fantasy stories let children imagine worlds that could never exist, and that is exactly what makes them so good for growing minds.

The gentler books suit ages 3 to 6. Older children will find quests, riddles and bigger adventures for ages 6 to 12. Every book is original, written for My Book Hub, and checked by a person before it is published.

Reading tips

Ask "what would you do if you had magic?" It is a brilliant way into a child's worries and wishes.
Draw the magical world together after reading. Children remember more when they draw it.
For older readers, try reading alternate pages aloud: you read one, they read the next.
