We love reading a story from our Thomas the Tank story collection at bed time. Last night was Henry and the special coal. My little boy is a huge Thomas fan.

Any Beatrix Potter especially Peter Rabbit books as we all love the Lake District and try to spot the animals there

We love reading Dogger, The Tiger Who Came to Tea, and all the Mog books.

I love to read The Magic Faraway Tree to my grandchildren and also Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH.

The gruffalo is our favourite xx

The 2nd book in the series from the 1940s Thomas the Tank Engine. I still have the book I got for Christmas 1954 which my Dad used to read to me, then we made up our own stories. I read it to my 3 year old grandson now and we do the same thing with made up stories playing with his wooden train set. The book opened up my imagination and now it’s doing the same for my grandson.

I like reading Aesops Fables to my 6 year old grandson and he listens intently

The Tiger Who came To Tea' is fab i love reading it with my nephews

I absolutely love The Wonky Donkey, It is just pure fun and laughter.

Any Julia Donaldson books, but I’m really looking forward to when she gets a little older and had the patience for some roald dahl

My favourite book since childhood is Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe. I have read it many times to my grandson and found out that allegedly the inspiration for the book was the island of Tobago and so I decided after all these years to pay a visit and read it again whilst I was there and now can see why I love it so much.

The Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl. It is so hard to put down.

My Grandchildren love traditional stories... so The Three Little Pigs, and Billy Goats Gruff are there favourites, a great way for them to learn how to read as they know them inside out !

My grandson loves Paper Dolls - so I love reading it to him!

Paddington. Forget the tv series and the films. The books are fabulous

My youngest grandson loves me to read any of the Paddington books to him .

My little granddaughters and I love Paddington Bear and his adventures.

Alice in Wonderland to my three granddaughters. They loved the story and choosing who in the family was which character. They still love I although they can read on their own now.

As a train enthusiast, it has to be Thomas the Tank Engine to my great-nephew, - who leaves them lying around all over the house

My grandson loves me reading Thomas to him. He has my son's set of books which are nearly 20 years old and hopefully these will be passed down to his son in the future.

I loved reading the Thomas the Tank Engine books to my son. He was a huge fan and now his two boys are Thomas fans too. When they are a little bit older I shall look forward to reading them The Railway Children just as I did when their Dad was a boy.

Peter Rabbit is a real favourite

I enjoy reading Nursery Rhyme Time with Peter Rabbit illustrations to my Grandson. He has the same characters on his cot mobile. I like the continuity of reading nursery rhymes I remember from childhood, which I shared with my son and daughter and now the next generation and seeing the same love for books emerging.

The Gruffalo and Gruffalo's Child and All the Alfie & Annie Rose stories by Shirley Hughes are also favourites

Every time he stays my 3-year old grandson requests the same bedtime story, it's an old book that belonged to my son called 'Plane'. He adds lots to the story by relaying the plane journey to Spain for our holiday last year. My son is now a pilot, maybe he was influenced by that book!
