Night monkey and day monkey my gran kids love it. So do I they always have a giggle and when I read this now even on my own I think of them smiling x

Shadow the sheepdog, by Enid Blyton, Ryan loves dogs of all types so loves this story of a boy and his dog

Pretend ‘reading’ as 3 year old DGS looks serious, rummages in his pocket, then with a look of triumph brings out his clutched hand saying ‘I’ve got a story from my pocket!’ He says what it’s about, hands it to the tablet screen and it’s time for the story to be ‘read’

Room on the Broom as always captivates them.

I have a book called 'Mummy's Little Bear', and all of my dgc have enjoyed listening to it (and looking at the pictures) when very young. I think that they could really relate to the central mother/baby theme, as well as to the fun things that the little bear was taught to do by his mum.

We love Tyrannosaurus Drip - all the characters are so wonderful

Peace at Last by jill Murphy read it to my daughter when she was young so apt.

My grandson loves me to read him an old Postman Pat book of my daughter’s when he comes to stay.

My Grandchildren love Roald Dahl Books and also David Walliams they are 11 and 5 but now the older granddaugher is now reading Harry Potter nearly finished all of them.

Hi, as the username suggests, I am blind and so, therefore, must use the computer with the aid of specialised audible software so I am unable to read to my Grandson but with technology, I am able to `Facetime` him and we listen to stories via ALEXA. He seems to like stories about Caterpillars.

My grandson is only 7 months old and lives a long way from us. During the current lockdown, I have been making finger puppets so that, when we Facetime, I can tell him/act out The 3 Little Pigs or The Billy Goats Gruff.

Treasure Island - 11 and 6 years old and they both love it!

The Sick Cow. It was one of our DSs favourites. 3 little pigs came pretty close too.

we are a bit steam train obsessed in our family, granddad builds his own model steam trains for our garden railway, not from kits, but from scratch! we are members of a local model engineers society which have steam train ride open days every month, so he is a driver of the trains and his dad was a stoker on the life size steam trains - so in my roundabout way , our fav books are of course Thomas the Tank, to continue the family obsession with steam trains through the generations!

Room on the Broom. My grandson isn’t as keen as I am on the story but very kindly indulges me!!!!

I have just read The Gingerbread Man to my grandson and when we got to the part where the fox is tossing the gingerbread man onto different parts of his body my grandson looked worringly at me and said " He doesnt eat him does he". I quickly had to retell the ending with the fox helping him to the other side to escape the people chasing him.

I love reading Guess How Much I love You :-)

The Family from One End Street by Eve Garnett. It was read to me as a child and I really loved it, so I'm enjoying sharing it with my grandchildren.

Green eggs and ham by Dr suezz has long been a favourite and the favourite bedtime story is Goldilocks and the three bears which we do actions and voices to - I can stop reading and the 4 yr old just carries on word perfect!

Fox in Sox by Dr Suezz. I love the tongue twisting nonsense of it with GC laughing along.

My 3 year old granddaughter loves all books but I like reading the ones that make her laugh. Currently this is The Gruffalo.

My two enjoyed the Greek Legends and the Bible stories. Good tales and timeless. Who can forget Medusa or the flight from Egypt.

The lion the witch and the wardrobe - and I love doing the Aslan voice!

My grandson is 19 months old and he absolutely adores books by Julia Donaldson. We think it is the gentle rhymes and the pictures he loves. One of his first words was 'Lufflo' (Gruffalo). One of my daughters' favourite books that I read over and over to them was Charlotte's Web. Their love of the characters never palled.

We love The Tiger Who Came To Tea because a good story should be just a little bit scary (but not too scary)
