Any of my Shirley Hughes Alfie books are always asked for when the grandchildren visit. I think it's the wonderful illustrations which accompany each page that is so loved, the detail provides extra conversations with the children.

The story of Corduroy Bear. I used to read it to my daughter and now my grandson loves it too.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been the staple of my grandchildren's early reading - such a glorious introduction to books and stories.

I love reading The Worst Witch as her exploits give my grandson the giggles. It was also my favourite book when I was a child.

Our four grandchildren love the Fern Hollow books by John & Jane Patience. As we are currently unable to read to them cuddled up on the sofa, we have been retelling them via video. My husband has been reading the story whilst I am providing props and sound effects. The kids seem to love them and we are having a brilliant time, although there does seem to be a great deal of falling into water involved.

All my Grandsons loved' We're Going on a Bear Hunt' They loved the part when the family discovered the bear in the cave.

The Magic Faraway Tree is a favourite of all mine x

We love reading the Mr Men books because they're just so much fun and full of lovely, colourful pictures

The lion, the witch and the wardrobe

I loved reading "Where the Wild Things Are" to my great nephew when he was small (and the children in my class, if that counts).

we're going on a bear hunt, and where the wild things are. simple but very compelling!

Monkey and Me by Emily Gravett “A brilliant book and an absolute favourite with my grandson. He loves the repetition and rhythm of the language. The text is simple, it's great for encouraging kids to recognise animals and spot clues in the pictures. ”

Our granddaughter loves being read Thomas the Tank engine, she has the trains, the videos, pyjamas, t-shirts, socks, hat and gloves and even the underpants, yes she wears the underpants. She's 3.

My favourite is ‘Five Minutes Peace’ written by Jill Murphy.

I like reading "The Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Andersen. My mother read it to me when I was little. It reminds me of happy times in my home country.

Heidi it was one of my favourites at school.

The Gingerbread Man. They love the singing the " Run, run as fast as you can".... part.

I love reading Where the Wild Things Are to my grandchildren, just as I did my own - because they get completely immersed in that world.

We read and watch Thomas the tank engine stories and postman pat! With my youngest son, we all love Thomas the tank and friends in our family. With my elder children we read Dhal, David Williams

My favourite is When I was Six - A A Milne- I learnt most of them off by heart and can still recite them today!

The magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton, it's one I used to read when I was younger and would imagine I was a character in the book

The Gruffalo is a great favourite with all my grandchildren.

I love reading 'the hobbit' in chapters, one or two a night, to the little precious ones!
