favourite childrens book: Dear Zoo

the youngest children just loved this book and we read it until it fell apart..

Do you remember the tv series of that? I loved it.

Children of the New Forest was read and re-read until I knew the book by heart.

The Borrowers. I had to keep repeating pages as it was read at bedtime to my daughter. She always fell to sleep and didn't remember the last bit.

The secret garden I read it to my daughter and she loved it too?

It has to be The Railway Children, I used to read that as a child, but my fav recent children's book has to be Harry Potter

I love the gruffalo. My granddaughter loves it and I love reading it to her.time after time, after time. Lol.
I love the rhyming, the story and the cunning of the mouse. The illustrations are beautiful drawn. Its great.

Mine was, and still is, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I just loved the world and characters in the book.

I loved the very hungry caterpillar

I always loved Heidi and my daughter's favourite was Anne of Green Gables.

I loved - and still love - the Ladybird Books of British Birds and their Nests and the Second and Third Books of British Birds, given to me over 50 years ago.

The DGC enjoy looking at them now as well.

Watch out, Very Hungry Caterpillar (another favourite) - keep away from hungry birds!

The books I remember so well are the Ladybird books, which I read to my own children on numerous occasions when they were young.

In fact one of my daughter's has the books which she read to her own children when young.

Cinderella, Snow White, remember them.

Children of the new forest

My daughter loved Gob0lino the Witch's Cat this book also helped her learning to read herself

Quentin Blake's book 'Patrick' has his amazing pictures and a simple story of the gift of Patrick's magical violin playing; gathering up an assortment of dull and sad characters and adding colour and wonder into their lives to make them happy again. A class act that entertains everyone-reader and listener even after four children!! Wonderful!

"Are You My Mother?", by PD Eastman, 1960!!! It is a beautiful, simple, delightful book that I enjoyed as a child, my two girls adored as children (and still do) and my granddaughter thinks is the funniest book she owns. "You are not my mother...you are a SNORT!" is a line that has reverberated through the generations of my family. Priceless.

The lion the witch and the wardrobe

The all-time favourite of my children was " Just before dawn" by Jan Mogensen because the illustrations were fantastic. A little boy's favourite teddy falls out of the bedroom window and goes on an eventful journey,arriving safely back in bed with the little boy just before dawn. On the final page the little boy wakes up and says " Good morning Teddy, did you sleep well?" This has become a catch phrase in our family and now our granddaughter is almost old enough for us all to enjoy the story all over again.

The Sea of Adventure by Enid Blyton

Suzy's Shadow by Enid Blyton was a favourite with myself as a child and also all three of my children. I think it stands the test of time an enchanting tale of fairies and pixies.

I loved to read Pollyanna..I always remember her prisms

'Winnie th Pooh' was my first book which had an enormous impact on the wonders of reading. I started this very special book on a flight from Heathrow and finished it when we landed in Sydney, Australia.
