Competition: Win a bundle of children's classics - CLOSED

Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers.

I agree about the Michael Morpurgo books, LullyDully.
Our DGS aged 10, raved about Kenstuke's Kingdom that he read in school. I was really surprised as he is a football/ climbing trees, sort of chap. He is now reading War Horse.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar is already becoming a classic. I also like the idea of Horrible Histories passing from generation to generation.

My gd is 11 and loves Michael Morpergo book. War Horse ans many more. Surely they are classics already. When she was little of course she adores Julia Donaldson's books , they have to be modern classics. I love The Snail and the Whale.

Cannot but agree about Harry Potter - GS has read and re-read the series the way I used to do with the Famous Five!! David Walliams' books are very engaging. For small children, the Mog series, certainly, and all Julia Donaldson. But for me, it has to be The Tiger Who Came to Tea. We read it to GS until it practically fell to bits and if asked to 'bring nanny a book to read' it was always that one!

David Walliams

The Harry Potter books, Raold Dahl, Phillip Pullmans 'His Dark Materials'. Lemony Snickets Series of Unfortunate Events.

Julia Donaldson, for her great stories and the ability to rhyme which helps children to remember the stories. I feel sure that my great grandchildren (if any) will enjoy them as much as their parents have.

David Walliams

I'm another Shirley Hughes fan, Dogger is a great book, the illustrations may be a little dated but the story is timeless. My oldest grandchildren have loved anything by David Walliams but found some of Michael Morpurgo's a bit scary, they do cover very contemporary real world issues...maybe not the best choice for bedtime reading!

ThePatchwork Cat by Nicola Hayley
Dogger by Shirley Hughes.

Julia Donaldson is brilliant - she has a wonderful way with words, understands how little ones tick and often has a clever quirky ending.

Think all the Julia Donaldsons are classics already and Michael Rosen's Bear Hunt!
If I am allowed a third choice it would be the Mog the Forgetful Cat series.

I think Shirley Highest should become classics. They are perfect for littleys.

Harry Potter will surely become classics. I personally don't like the writing but the storylines have enduring appeal to youngsters.

Roald Dahl, too, with his anarchy against authority.
