My grandson’s favourite Book at the moment is There’s a Monster in your book. Just love the interaction he has with this book. Can’t wait to read it with him again. Miss our reading time at the moment.

My grandson Jacob loves every thing Thomas the Tank so we read one of Thomas's many adventures each night but usually end up reading Thomas and Berties race. This is Jacobs favourite because he likes to race with his friends so he can relate to it. It is mine because it is one I remember reading to his daddy as a youngster.

Stickman is our favourite book at the moment. We read this book over and over again following the many trials and tribulations of Stickman as he tries to make his way back home to his family.
