The very hungry caterpillar was always a huge hit when they were younger

gizmos12 Tue 19-May-20 04:24:04

Our grand daughter is becoming a young woman now so no reading of stories now but she loves the goosebumps books

Dogger by Shirley Hughes I've loved this book even more since my grandchildren were born. There is a page where big sister Bella does something very kind, It actually makes me have a huge lump in my throat when I think about how kind that is for a child to do and the first time I read it years ago I cried a little, it's bought alive with wonderful illustrations.

The Thomas collection library by egmont he’s a massive Thomas & Friends fan and each book tells the story about each character although a lot of them don’t feature in the cartoon anymore.

Red Fish Blue Fish by Dr Seuss !

I love reading Burglar Bill to my Grandsons. They enjoy hearing it over and over again as did their Mummy when she was little.
