My dgd was disappointed, on a recent visit, to find that she had read all the books I have for her, so I need to re-stock, but what do modern children like? My instinct was to get the classics, that I and my daughter enjoyed, but will she relate to them? I’m thinking of Black Beauty, What Katy Did, the Narnia books etc. She’s worked her way through Roald Dhal, Enid Blyton and the early Harry Potter books as well as Walliams. She has a reading age of 11 and but, of course, her emotional age is rather younger. Any advice will be gratefully received, I’m a late grandma so my friend’s gc are all grown up.
