Most of us read most of what we read at night in bed. Fairy Lullabies by Allan and Linda Parry (O Books,£4.99) is an ideal introduction for us children to all the different kinds of fairies that share our world.

There's even a verse for each type of fairy for the children to learn. So now snuggle down and put out the light

And when the dawn breaks,
And darkness is gone,
The fairies will wake you,
With a sweet fairy song.
