365 Bedtime Stories

A collection of brief stories coordinated with the actual events in a calendar year. Excerpt: &quote;&quote;Just because it was the first day of the year,&quote; commenced daddy, &quote;and because parties were about the nicest things in the world to the mind of a little girl named Ella, her mother decided to give her one. &quote;'It certainly does seem like the first of the year, or the first of something,' said Ella. 'It's a new day, a new year and we have new toys and new games. We are even going to have supper out of new dishes.' &quote;For among the presents Santa Claus had brought to Ella was a fine set of dishes. They were pink and white and there were six cups and saucers, six little plates, a teapot, sugar bowl and cream jug. It was really a very complete set.
