I love reading three little pigs it's my granddaughters favourite

Our favourite story to read to our sons was ‘Chicken Licken’, it was hopeless at getting them to go to sleep they just giggled and giggled so much so we couldn’t even get the words out ourselves sometimes for laughing. Will be a must read to our grandchildren as soon as we can. Will be good to see if all that laughter repeats itself.

I love the Cat in the Hat, or anything by Dr Seuss because it’s timeless, colourful and fun and lets the imagination run free - it reminds me of my childhood!
