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

The Indian In the cupboard. Lynne Reid Banks

Anything by Julia Donaldson for younger ones. Youngest DGS loves the highway rat.

The Faraway Tree and The Wishing Chair by Enid Blyton.
Children enjoy these sort of timeless stories, and I quite fancy visiting the land of birthday parties myself?.They also like her short stories about witches and elves and pixies.

The older DGS ( a teenager now) used to enjoy the above books as well, when young, and also liked The House at Knowe books ( slightly spooky).

Septimia I think we often read books too soon, the Mr Men books are a case in point. It’s lovely that your GD understands the humour.

I'm reading Winnie the Pooh to my GD. We started it in the summer when we could see each other and the last episode was done by phone.

She's a bit old for it, but I didn't read it until I was in my late teens and thought it hilariously funny. GD is just old enough to begin to see the humour, especially when I manage the voices (like Eeyore's miserable one).

Dear Zoo and the very hungry caterpillar,both with relevant noises. ?. He is 20 months old.

Dinotopia by James Gurney, a wonderful Dorling Kindersley book we bought for DD.
A fantasy with Dinosaurs and humans interacting, great illustrations and a good story.
