She was headed to college to fulfill her dream of becoming a physical education teacher. A month later, her father died suddenly. This is one of my saddest days, Martha. I was stunned. My mother was brilliant and everyone knew it. I reminded her that her friends used to drop by the house all the time for her counsel.

When I was in college and my mother came to visit, my friends eagerly anticipated a conversation with her, which was really them talking and her listening. I told her about a hiring mistake I had made because I lacked her intuition about people. In fact, this interview would not have been possible when I was I surely would have interrupted her, argued with her about some part of her reality, and possibly even said something judgmental. During the interview, it became clear that her strengths were my weaknesses, which I had not before acknowledged to her.

In this world anything can happen, animals and trains can talk, fairies are real but so are trolls , people are transformed by adventures and adversity, and good usually triumphs in the end. I was reminded of the enduring pleasure of stories in June, when my husband and I were staying in a hotel near Solihull. One of the waitresses approached me hesitantly — a tough-looking young woman with multiple piercings, tattoos and a half-shaven hairstyle.

When I nodded, her face lit up, as if the sun had come out. I was rubbish at school but I loved all them books! It made my day — and I told her so. Few things in my long career can beat the precious experience of reading my stories aloud to a class of rapt children, then waiting for their eager questions. Most parents, too. From classics such as The Polar Express and Winnie the Pooh to a magical reworking of The Snowman by Michael Morpurgo and a wickedly funny Christmas caper from Horrid Henry, they will be loved by children of all ages and their grown-ups too!

Reading aloud to children forms a vital part of their development — and can enthuse in them a love of reading that will last a lifetime. I can still remember the delight I took in one story my mother read to me: Maurice The Mouse by Nancy Catford, first published in It is the story of a brave doctor mouse captured by big, bad robber rats but rescued by all the little creatures like Cuthbert the Caterpillar he had helped.

The copy I still treasure dates from before I was born and its battered state testifies to much love. Stories can become a means of escape. If you were a lonely child like me, books gave instant access to friends within other worlds.

What was a manor house? Stretch their imaginations instead. If there is trouble at home, set them free! Her voice would transport us to snowy landscapes and silver seas as the inky smell of school drifted away. What is the allure of reading aloud? If a child is keen they may prefer to read to themselves, but if they find it a struggle, you can give no greater gift than your time and attention as you look at the pictures together and turn the pages.

The paper will also include children's classic The Polar Express - perfect for parents and grandparents to read to their little ones over the festive period, and for older children to pore over at bedtime. He still remembers the special time when his little sister was in bed and it was just us in the quiet of his bedroom — with the treasured Puffin paperbacks.

The Greatest Gift My Parents Gave Me

It makes me desperately sad that fewer parents these days read to their children. Oh, I know lack of time is always an excuse. But did we have more time? Of course not! When technology and TV replace loving contact a whole generation of children is missing out on the unique combination of words, voice, pictures and human touch — which together create the mysterious magic of story-time. They listen, they laugh, they learn, they love — all at once. Since men and women first gathered in caves, gathering around the comforting fire at night, stories have been a part of the human soul.

We both love it. No such thing as an age limit to the spell of a spoken story. Nowadays audiobook CDs — like the David Walliams one you can pick up free with this paper today — do the same job. Fairy tales, myths, stories of wizards and gangster grannies and naughty children, accounts of daring exploits, frightening fables, scary monsters, brave mice, awesome lions, Spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Future.
