Definitely a 'naughty granny'. If a book makes me laugh, then I'm sure it will make my grandchildren laugh too and what could be better than that?

However, I do also love the more traditional books as I would like my grandchildren to know and love the books I read to my own children. Some books never age.

I suppose I must be a naughty granny as I love "Little Rabbit Foo Foo " who rides through the forest on his motorbike and bops all the creatures on the head! At least he gets his come-uppance from the Good Fairy who doesn't like his attitude and turns him into a Goonie !.

I love reading & my DGCs know that I'm always happy to read stories to them.
Whether they're traditional books or new, it doesn't really matter as long as I think they'll enjoy them. Although, if they've got an amusing twist, so much the better!

I'd describe myself as nice on top with a naughty centre!

Help! I'm both! I enjoy traditional and more outré .
My eldest DGD is only 2 1/4 , but she already loves her books.
To be encouraged I feel.

Definitely a 'nice' granny and known as Granny Book to my three year old grandson. I love traditional tales and I especially like reading them with and to my grandchildren. I enjoy beautiful illustrations and time old stories and never tired of reading the classics, which is fortunate because there are nineteen years between my oldest and youngest child so my storytelling segued neatly from my youngest son to my eldest grandchild.
The 'naughty' books are not my cup of tea and whilst I don't mind buying them I leave those for my 'naughty' daughter to share.

Oh I am most definately the "naughty granny" anything that mensions poop, bum, wee, boobies or farts pumps, goes down a treat with my three little monkeys. I just wish I could bottle the giggles and just release a little bit every so often when I am feeling down in the dumps.

Well I am the Grandma like the little girl with the curl when she was good she was very very good but when she was bad...

I dont mind either traditional or modern books my lot love them all, as long as we are sharing, but we do like good illustrations.

I do hope I am a ^ Naughty ^ granny !
laugh .

All and any book that encourages a child to read and enjoy doing so is a good book. I however am a naughty nana as I, occasionally, buy things I know my DD's will hate.

Oh dear - I'm Naughty Nanny - it's the nickname the GK gave me so it must be true

I don't know what kind of Granny I am. I can be a fun granny but I am also a grumpy granny. I don't think grannyhood suits me very much. I quite like handing them back after an hour or three; perhaps it's because I don't see some of them very often and don't know them very well and they aren't used to me? . They all, without exception, love books and the more traditional the better. Too much whackiness around these days

I like the traditional stories but it is no good buying it if the grandchildren prefer the modern stuff! I love to see children reading so anything they want is OK by me. I used to be a naughty granny but I'm not so sure now. I am still searching for some of the books my grandkids loved so I can buy for my great grandson.

On the whole I think I'm good granny, but if I'm honest, if the grandchildren didn't already have the naughty granny books, I'd probably be tempted to change my coat.

Naughty all the time - much more fun for me to read with noises and actions to match!!!!

Naughty Nanny definitely - I love stomping through muddy puddles, the muddier the better with the grandchildren, the messier they get the happier I am. I buy rude joke books (appropriately aged ones of course for the older children) Yes, all the 'rude' words are read out with gusto. I always buy the children - and there are 11 of them- some books for Christmas and Birthdays. Love choosing them.

Defintely a naughty one I am always playing tricks on the grandchildren, but they love it

It seems to depend upon the time of day. At bedtime they seem to want books from the traditional range but during the daytime the more exciting and silly the better. I leave the choice to them as they have masses of books because we and the parents share the view that you can never have too many!

Help it seems I am a naughty granny.... I like my 5 grandchildren to laugh... and what makes them laugh more...is the toilet...type books...pee, poo, trump!!!! We all laugh so much... tears streaming down our faces...making the noises and actions..... HELP !! Not to mention the grandma dancing in the kitchen suddenly stopping when another adult comes through eeeeekkkkk Doing the handjive and the locomotion......has them in fits of laughter.... thats what life is all about... laughing and loving!!!!

Bit of both probably. I take advice from their parents on what they have read and which authors they favour and take it from there, however do often see ads online for new books which I think are going to be funny and different for them.
With four grandchildren aged 14,13,12 and 3 and all avid bookworms, reading material is always on the present list.

I was naughty but have calmed down in my old age and feel like a good granny liking sensible books for the grandchildren. I have had too many pee & poo jokes & laughter to last a life time.

I must be a naughty grannie because even if I'm reading my two grandchildren a more traditional story, I'll slip in a little bit of my own story telling, which is generally naughty, just to make sure that they are paying attention!!

To quote Fay Weldon and her cream cakes advert .... I'm naughty but nice!

I'm hopefully a nice granny and generally prefer the more traditional bedtime story books but sometimes opt for books that I think they will find amusing when they are wearing me out during the daytime.

Most definitely a nice Granny - I love the traditional stories that I enjoyed as a child, and I'm on the lookout for a beautifully illustrated version of the Christmas story suitable for a four-year-old who's playing the Angel Gabriel in the school play, but is convinced that the baby's name is Joseph!
