There was a less - known children's book series in the 70s that had a bit of telekinesis in it. I can't recall the exact name, but it was about a group of kids who discover they have special powers, including telekinesis. The stories were more about their adventures and how they use their powers for good, like saving their small town from various threats.
One such book could be 'Carrie' by Stephen King. Although it's more of a horror novel, it features a young girl with telekinesis and was first published in the 70s. It was later adapted into a movie as well. The story of Carrie is really engaging as it shows her struggle with her powers and the bullying she endures at school.
One common theme was self - discovery. Kids in these stories often discovered their telekinetic powers and had to figure out what it meant for them. For example, they might realize they were different from their peers and had to come to terms with that.
The 'Winnie - the - Pooh' books also have a collection of short, charming stories. These stories are set in the Hundred Acre Wood and feature beloved characters like Pooh, Piglet, and Tigger. The simple and heartwarming stories are perfect for young children, teaching them about friendship and the joys of simple things in life.
Sure. 'The Little Prince' is a great one. It tells the story of a little prince who travels from planet to planet, meeting different and interesting characters. It has beautiful illustrations and deep, thought - provoking themes suitable for children and adults alike.
Sure. 'The Little Mermaid' is a great short story from Disney children's books. It tells the story of Ariel, a mermaid who dreams of living on land. Another one is 'Snow White', about a beautiful princess and her encounter with the seven dwarfs.

There is 'The Ugly Duckling' story. A duckling is different from others and is bullied because it looks 'ugly'. But as it grows up, it turns out to be a beautiful swan. And 'Thumbelina' is also a lovely short story. Thumbelina, a tiny girl, has many adventures, like being kidnapped by a toad and later living with a mole, until she finally finds her true love among the flower - fairies.
There is 'The Tortoise and the Hare'. The hare is very proud of his speed and mocks the tortoise. But the tortoise challenges him to a race. The overconfident hare takes a nap during the race while the slow but steady tortoise keeps going and finally wins. It shows that consistency and determination are important.
Sure. 'The Little Red Hen' is a great one. In this story, the little red hen finds some grains of wheat and asks other animals to help her plant, harvest and bake bread, but they all refuse. In the end, she enjoys the bread all by herself. It teaches kids about the value of hard work.
The 'Nate the Great' series is quite popular. It consists of short detective stories that kids find really interesting. Nate, a young detective, solves various mysteries in his neighborhood. 'Amelia Bedelia' books are also great. Amelia Bedelia often takes things literally, which leads to all kinds of humorous situations in the short stories. And 'Horrible Harry' has short stories about a boy who has a knack for getting into and out of trouble at school.
Sure. 'Bunnicula' can be considered a kind of vampire - related short story for children. It's about a vampire bunny. The story is full of humor and mystery as the family tries to figure out what's going on with their new pet. Also, 'Count Dracula's Guest' by Bram Stoker (although a bit scarier but still suitable for some older children) gives an interesting look into the vampire world from a short - story perspective.
