Stories from I to U is a delightful and eccentric collection of short stories for children-crafted for curious minds, quick laughs, and shared smiles between generations. Told as a playful dialogue between Uttie, a small, wildly imaginative rascal, and Mr. Bonjo, a skeptical but soft-hearted adult, these tales explore an offbeat world where everyday things-like pencils, clouds, or even electric currents-have thoughts, feelings, and a few opinions of their own.
Each story begins with a question or a quirk: Why isn't there snow in summer? Can clouds get motion sickness? Do underpants have secret political ambitions? Uttie is determined to explain it all, while Mr. Bonjo tries to keep a straight face (and fails). This book is perfect for middle-grade readers (ages 7-11), but also makes a fun and clever read-aloud for younger children or nostalgic adults. Whether read one story at bedtime or devoured in a single sitting, Stories from I to U celebrates childlike curiosity, absurd logic, and the warmth of shared storytelling.
If you're a fan of: Roald Dahl, for his clever twists and irreverent tone Winnie-the-Pooh, for its cozy conversations and hidden wisdom The Stinky Cheese Man, for its gleeful nonsense and smart humor Fortunately, the Milk, for its adventurous leaps of logic ...then you'll feel right at home with Uttie and Mr. Bonjo. These are stories for children who ask questions and grown-ups who remember what that felt like.
