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

I have always loved, and always will, The Witches. So scary as a child and yet couldn't put it down.

Oh for reading to my children definitely the Winnie the Pooh series. Such a great opportunity to do voices. Eeyore was always Yorkshire-so dour and flat. Roo and Kanga-Australian of course. Tigger-very huffy, breathless and fast. Piglet squeaked of course. and Pooh "a bear of very little brain" spoke very slowly.

Has to be What Katy Did

Black Beauty.

I have an abridged children's edition from my childhood which DGD1 is just growing into. It was DD1's favourite book too. It was a weird feeling listening to her reading it aloud to her DD.

Very Hungry Caterpillar is the one my sons love to read to their children.

I still have my copy of The Golden Staircase - poems and verses for children chosen by Louey Chisholm that I had read to me and then returned to over again as a child.
Like other readers I also loved all the Enid Blyton books - especially The Faraway Tree and I loved Winnie the Pooh and I loved reading Peepo and Each Peach Pear Plum to my own children

My personal favourite was Little Women, my DC's think it funny that I can recite whole chunks of it from memory. I lost my childhood copy and DS2 bought me a new copy two years ago, I was so pleased.

My favourite book for the grandchildren has to be Dogger by Shirley Hughes, delightful story and illustrations are superb.

Wind In The Willows.

So many old and new favourites, lots of them already named on here (Bear Hunt, Heidi, What Katy Did, Dear Zoo, The Tiger who came to Tea).

My favourite (so hard to choose) is The Railway Children by E Nesbit - of all the wonderful books I read as a child this is a perennial favourite.

My favourite book as a child was Alice in Wonderland. As a bit of a dreamer it used to transport me to another world, I read it many times.

Black Beauty by Anna Sewell! I've read it several times including once not long ago and it still makes me cry||

"Twas the Night Before Christmas", just magical. My Granny read it to me, I read it to my children and my daughter reads it to my grandchildren.

Elmer the Patchwork Elephant by David McKee.

I read The Tiger who came to Tea, to all my Reception classes and they always enjoyed it. Now my DGC love it too.

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

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

The Just William Books by Richmal Crompton were really entertaining.

The Wind in the Willows

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.

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

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

My children and grandchildren loved Miffy books

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

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.

The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.
