Definitely Mrs Twit - she and Mr Twit made me laugh so much and I can't wait to share this again with my younger grandchildren.

The grumpy Grandma in George’s Marvellous Medicine. The whole book really makes us laugh!

I loved George from George's Marvellous Medicine because he inspired a childhood of making secret potions using my parent's talc, bubble bath and all manner of things I could find in our house!

Willy Wonka was my favourite for his crazy inventions.

Mr. Poppy from Esio Trot. He's such a kind and gentle soul. He's very shy too and loves his neighbour Mrs Silver. I won't spoil the story-line, but it's impossible not to love this character when you read how he tries to woo his love.

Love the BFG. It’s so good to read aloud especially his own language. The children love him.

It would have to be Willy Wonka because of his crazy contraptions.

Danny from Danny Champion of the World. He’s such an endearing character. Vulnerable and brave!

My favourite is Charlie from Charlie and the chocolate factory. He was kind and caring . Plus he had nothing and look what he ended up with a chocolate factory. We can only dream of that

It has to be the BFG. He is lovely in the book and even better in the film. A real gentle giant.

Matilda without doubt. Her character is a proper celebration of the gift of being both smart and cool?
