The Tiger Who came to Tea is a family favourite. I used to read it to my grandchildren and now my great grandson loves it too. It is a true classic and I am sure will be enjoyed by generations to come

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.

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.

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.

The Lion the witch and the wardrobe, it's a fantastic read.

The Cat in the Hat. I learnt to read with Dr Seuss books, in turn my children learnt to read the same books ...and now my grandchildren are reading and enjoying the funny words in them. They are full of made up words, but they teach you how to put letters together and make a new word. Fabulous fun!

We have a set of 4 Thomas the Tank books that both of grandchildren absolutely adore, so this prize would be just perfect for them. Thanks for the chance x
