We're giving away more than a THOUSAND pounds worth of children's books!

Little Women or Heidi , can't decide

A book I used to read to my children called "The Lion and Blue", a story about the love between a lion and a butterfly. The illustrations thrill me to this day. I have no idea how it came into our lives, but we never ever tired of it when the children were small.

The Velveteen Rabbit.

Dogger

A favourite at the moment is The Jolly Postman

The Secret Garden

What Katie Did.

Peepo, used to read it to my daughters, but at the same time it took me back to my childhood.

"The Magic Faraway Tree" by Enid Blyton; read to my children who read /are reading it to my grandchildren. It is magical, scary and enchanting, and I am enjoying it all over again!

Snap, shysal, but if I can't have that it's got to be Winnie-the-Pooh

'The Children of Green Knowe' by Lucy Boston. I discovered this magical book when my daughter was about 10. We both loved it and went on to read all the books in the series. We even visited the house which was the setting for the stories.

After much thought I have decided that it has to be;

We're going on a bear hunt by Michael Rosen with the wonderful illustrations by Helen Oxenbury. No matter where we are and what we are doing my three grandchildren recite this book......

We're going on a bear hunt,
we're gonna catch a big one,
what a beautiful day,
we're not scared.
Oh oh!
Mud,
thick, oozy mud

We can't go over it, we can't go under it, we've got to go through it!
Squelch, squelch, squelch,squelch

The Little Wooden Horse

The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.

My favourite would have to be Peepo. I remember reading it to my children as one of their favourite bedtime stories and I now read it to my 2 year old grandson who loves it.

A very close second for the same reasons is Each Peach Pear Plum.

Got to be Five on Treasure Island,or any Famous Five books.

My children and grandchildren loved Miffy books

The book that I buy again and again for very young children is Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell. They love opening the flaps to see which unsuitable pet has arrived and shouting 'send it back' with much giggling as the story is read to them. A lovely introduction to a life of enjoyment of books

Toddler grandchildren and I love A Squash and a Squeeze by Julia Donaldson.

It has got to be Huckleberry Finn reminds me always of all the things we got up to during the holidays on the farm/lake area's where we where brought up,of mum packing us off for the day to find our own enjoyment.

The Wind in the Willows

The Just William Books by Richmal Crompton were really entertaining.

Peepo, my kids loved it and now my gorgeous granddaughter is living too!

The Anne of Green Gable stories - I re-read these recently and still enjoyed them.
