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.
