The Secret Garden, It's a timeless story

The Jolly Postman is my favourite. It was a book I bought when my children were little and it's lovely to be able to share this interactive book with my grandchildren.

Topsy and Tim"s new shoes. I used to read it to my daughter and she always wanted the party shoes that Topsy wanted instead of the sensible school shoes. Now my granddaughter loves reading the book just like her mum used to.

I enjoy reading What the Ladybird Heard, to my grandchildren. The story is amusing and she loves 'find the ladybird' game on each page as well as knowing and telling me the animal noises. A beautiful, fun, bright, colourful book

Beauty and The Beast

I liked to read The Boy Who Cried Wolf to them as it's a classic tale about telling lies and the consequences of it.

We like reading the Peter Rabbit stories and finding out about all of the adventures that they go on.

Dazzling diggers by tony Morton and ant Parker. He is obsessed with diggers and tractors. He loves it when granny reads him his favourite book because he can point out all the different diggers and what the digger parts are called. It’s all very exciting Xx
