Books you've enjoyed reading with your grandchildren and would recommend

Mr.Stink by David Willams.,
The Ickabog. Jk Rowling
Both lovely books .

My GDs absolute favourite were Flower Fairies books .

Good old Enid Blyton, she knew how to write a good tale. Mr T and I were tickled by how the Faraway Tree has been PC’d. But I was pleased or our grandchild’s woke parents might have objected. Sadly the Wishing Chair didn’t make the cut because of the name of one of the characters. I downloaded a sample of The Ickabog on to my Kindle to see if it would be our next read after The Faraway Tree. I’m afraid it didn’t appeal.

Peace at Last, The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's child, Room on The Broom, grandson was obsessed with Stick Man at one time and asked for that every time he came to ours. Granddaughter loved Alice in Wonderland. They both liked The Minpins a beautifully illustrated Roald Dahl I'd kept from when my children were young. Slinky Malinki, about a cat who steals things from the neighbourhood, Dibble and Dabble (two ducks) Bad Mood Bear another I kept. We're Going on a Bear Hunt. Night Before Christmas at Christmas time. Those were the ones I can remember I think there were others.

The Elephant and the Bad Baby, by Elfrida Vipoint, illustrations by Raymond Briggs. Toddlers love all the repetitions.

Black Beauty. One granddaughter especially likes horses and was very sad when Ginger was mistreated and the horses died in the stable but still enjoyed it

Isabella Tree’s ‘When We Went Wild’, gorgeous illustrations too.
