I love reading the Jill Murphy stories about the Larfe family, e.g. Mr Large in charge. I still have the copies I read to my own children, which has their names written and crossed out multiple times as they fought over who the books belonged to. The grandchildren love the stories and seeing their parent's writing.
In our house, any story connected with Peter Rabbit and Going on a Bear Hunt always goes down a storm. They have always loved books from being tiny and I do too, so story time is one thing I sadly miss right now.
My 2 1/2 year old granddaughter loves the Hairy Mcleary from Donaldson's Dairy books. He is a scruffy little dog who has many friends. His biggest enemy is Scarface Claw, a cat. There are lots of books in the series, we have about ten but I think we have only scraped the tip of the iceberg. I now read them to her over WhatsAp which she loves.
My grandsons love reading and they have loads of the. Most of the time they will choose their bedtime story for me to read. Three different ages . So the little one will have his story in the day time and sit with us for other stories later. The tiger who came to tea although he likes the touching, feeling, pulling one a lot. For the older one, Harry Potter. Roald dahl , dinasaur and numbers/football for the middle one.
We wore the print of Julia Donaldson’s The Snail and the Whale and Sharing a Shell; all her books in fact. Other books included The Tiger that came to Tea, and when he was a bit older, the very funny Man on the Moon (A Day in the Life of Bob) books by Simon Bartram - especially A Right Royal Disaster; and the Katie Morag books. He’s now 13 and a voracious reader. I think I miss reading to him more than anything else we did.
My youngest Grandaughter loves her bedtime stories and enjoys her collection of Winnie the Pooh stories she is two years old this week so I bought her a dolls house shaped book case for her to put her collection of favourite books by the side of her little bed.
We read and watch Thomas the tank engine stories and postman pat! With my youngest son, we all love Thomas the tank and friends in our family. With my elder children we read Dhal, David Williams
I like reading "The Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Andersen. My mother read it to me when I was little. It reminds me of happy times in my home country.
Our granddaughter loves being read Thomas the Tank engine, she has the trains, the videos, pyjamas, t-shirts, socks, hat and gloves and even the underpants, yes she wears the underpants. She's 3.
