The snail and the whale, (or is it the whale and the snail?). My DGD currently has a thing about crabs and we love looking for all the things in the lovely illustrations.
Oh, so many favourites over the years, but they’ve all at some stage liked the Alfie books by Shirley Hughes. The frontrunner has been Alfie Gets in First, where Alfie locks himself in the house. Shirley Hughes’ illustrations are adorable.
Chicken Lickin as it was a favourite of our sons, so now their children are reading it along with us as we speak. It also always makes us laugh, can't wait to get reading to them all again.
Kippers bear. We read it to our 3 children and still have the battered well read copy. My husband and I almost know it off by heart and love how it rhymes, the illustrations and how you can put expression in the telling of it.
All my grandchildren have adored The Faraway Tree and The Magic Wishing Chair by Enid Blyton, the now vilified children's author! All her books were so enjoyed by my grandchildren but these two were demanded again and again.
