Books for your grandchildren

John Burningham - still great books, such as Would You Rather.

What Katy did.
Also the sequels.

Roald Dahl and David Walliams are popular.

Buy him a biography of a footballer he likes. At 10, he can have adult books (if suitable content).

I'm looking for something well written, not Walliams and he's read Dahl.9 year old boy

Granddaughter aged 8 is into Aleesha Dixon's books in a big way.

On the subject of books...for a 2 -3 year old not 8 sorry...I have to mention the You Choose books( especially the one with yellow cover ) by Nick Sharratt and Pippa Goodhart. It will be money well spent as you will be reading it over and over ...and you might find yourself having to hide it as you will tire long before they do!!!!!

Well my GD, aged 17 months, loves a book that was bought for my DH(an avid Beatles fan) called "Where's Ringo"! Basically a picture book of cartoons of all things Beatles along the lines of "Where's Wally" but not so difficult to find.

She adores the psychedelic colours and cartoons, and loves finding Ringo! We have to go through it at least three times a day when we have her here on childminding duties...

Also agree with the "That's not my..." series for young toddlers.

I take my grandson, who’s just turned 4, to our local libraries. He loves choosing books with me and understands about taking them back and borrowing more.
So many favourites, previously mentioned here, but he also likes the books by Tom Fletcher which are fun to read too.

I think what GC like depends on age and interest, perhaps a trip to the Library may help. I have so many children's books now, so many children later, I don't bother to drive so far. But it's a lovely resource for ideas.

Roald Dahl series, and his factual books as well, are all nice.

Boys and girls 8 years up - Young Samurai and Bodyguard by Chris Bradford.

Stellar and Lunar for younger children who like fun space stories also by Chris Bradford.
