I'm a nice Granny and I love the more traditional books - the kind that I was brought up on and those which my own children enjoyed.

I'm a naughty but nice grandma. I do generally prefer the traditional story books and have recently bought my granddaughter some Enid Blyton books as I remember them so fondly from my own childhood.

We do visit the library regularly though and my granddaughter chooses which books she would like to borrow from there, if they are a bit too cheeky for my taste, at least we can return them after a fortnight.

I am both I love Father Christmas wants a wee and also like to read the Nativity story to my Grandsons. Both myself and my son (Grandsons Daddy) are bookworms and hope my Grandson will follow the tradition and grow to love reading.

oops should have said stories

I am definitely a naughty Granny, although I still like the traditional stores too.

I think I'm a nice granny. My 4 year old GD says I'm a fun granny. Although I live about 140 miles from my little granddaughters I see them as often as I can. Most of my holidays are spent with them and I recently baby-sat for three weeks. My daughter-in-law works full time, my son works from home. He had a wonderful opportunity to work in Sweden for 3 weeks and asked for my help. It was hard work doing the school run, spending time at playgroup with the 2 year old and keeping her entertained. I was usually on my own from 7.30am to about 6.30ish. However hard it was it was also very rewarding, but it was good to get home and rest. I look forward to Christmas with them.

No Mishap. Nice grannies avoid the educational stuff as well!

A bit of both really. I enjoy traditional books, but always read a broad range of stories but I never want to miss a chance to inspire a love of books.

Ooh I am most definitely a naughty Granny, would have lots fun reading these books especially to Keira who has a wicked sense of humour

Think I am a bit of both - like something a bit different, funny but not rude. My grandsons are now both old enough - 6 and 3 to choose their own books when we go to the library, but I will have a quick look through first, so maybe I am a nice nanny ??

I love the classic stories that I read my children when they were little. In fact I've kept them all and am now reading the very same books to my grandchildren. They love it that their mummy had exactly that same book when they were their age - even with the dirty finger prints and even the odd smudge of something!
But I also love to read them something funny and different. In fact there's nothing better than a good giggle with my 7 and 5 year old over something a bit "naughty". It is a tradition that every birthday and Christmas I buy them a new book. They always look forward to see what it is, the funnier the better. So like many of the others I am a bit of both, but the naughty books for me please.

I just avoid any book that says it is educational. Home reading needs to be for fun and fostering a joy in literature.

Does this make me a "naughty gran"?

I prefer the 'nice story books' but if you ask me to name my children's favourite books the 'naughty ones always come to mind. My son loved 'The Man' by Raymond Briggs because he weed in a cup. My youngest daughter love the 'Vicar of Nibbleswick' as he said 'naughty words. My eldest daughter loved 'My naughty little sister' books, the title tells all. My grandson (just three years old) is showing no preference as yet he just devours all books.

Do I have to be one or the other, really? Sometimes I'm nice and sometimes I'm naughty lol but in this case I think I veer more towards the naughty!

I'm both types but more inclined towards the Naughty Granny end. I think kids love stuff which is a bit edgy, maverick and rude. But I wouldn't neglect the traditional either - it's good for kids to know the stories which we were brought up on and which have stood the tests of generations.

I have been kinda forced into the role of Good Granny because my DGC have naughty Daddies and a VERY Naughty Grandpal! I feel my role is to balance this out with 'nice' stories like the Gruffalo and Katie Morag books. Their all time favourite reader though is Grandpal who makes deliberate mistakes in their favourite stories and they take great delight in correcting him.

A little naughty and a lot nice! I want my grandchildren to know that they can have fun with me and I'll bend the rules for them but at the end of the day I am a safe place for them to cuddle up and be treated like gold!

Oh, me too, grannyactivist. I'm nice, very, very nice, scarily nice. I don't care for toilet humour, I do a lot of pursing and tutting when it turns up on TV and I don't want to read it to my lovely grandsons, though no doubt they'll have plenty of it elsewhere. It'll be Alfie and Annie Rose, The Family from One End Street and traditional stories all the way from me, I'm afraid. I've just tried to order a wonderful edition of The Night Before Christmas from Amazon, and had to cancel when they told me delivery wouldn't be till 6 February.... I didn't have Christmas 2014 in mind when I ordered!

I'm surprised how many 'naughty' grannies there are. I happily read my infant children a factually correct book called 'How a baby is made' and others about toilet training, but I've never really 'got' toilet humour so stories about pooing and farting make me want to purse my mouth. (A slightly Hyacinth Bucket reaction I fear.) Traditional stories or modern classics e.g. Katie Morag or Elmer or anything at all by Shirley Hughes are 'nice' books (that means I like reading them) and having grown up in a rather disreputable family (I was the white sheep ) I rather relish being a 'good' granny.

I do like to read funny books to children. My grand daughter and I like Little Rabbit Foo Foo, Dr Seuss, I'm Not Cute, Not Now Bernard, etc.

I wouldn't personally buy a book about farting or pooing. I know some children enjoy that sort of toilet humour but I never did as a child and still don't. But, the story about Father Christmas being desperate for a wee I thought would be quite amusing.

I think there's room for all types of books - traditional and non-traditional, funny and serious.

This is presumably just an opportunity to market certain books.

Guess I must be the naughty granny when I read the titles of the good granny books it made me think boring and I got a giggle from the titles of the naughty ones. Guess I must get it from my mum. Anything silly and funny makes for great fun for the grandkids and I avoid looking in my daughters direction when me and the kids are being silly, though most of the time it's my partner that shakes his head. Your only young once so you should enjoy it, well I might not be so young now but the grandkids make me feel young again, it's my second childhood.

At Christmas I am a nice grandma, as I think my grandchildren should know the true story of Christmas with books such as "The Nativity: The Story of Baby Jesus by May Eliot".

I think I am a bit of both. I love passing down the stories and poetry that I read as a child, that I read to my children and now I read to my grandchildren. The old ladybird books stories I can still recite and recently did an re-enactment of the 3 billy goats gruff at a local play park (me cast as the ugly troll of course) using the ladybird version as the script. Grandchildren loved it. I am introducing my 7 year old granddaughter to Old Possum book of practical cats. That being said I love the new books too and any book to do with toilet humour, bodily functions etc always go down well with young children. Anything that gets them reading is good and anything that develops a child's precious gift of a sense of humour is great.

Naughty nanna, grandkids find you more exciting

I'm a Grandad rather than a Granny.........and am happy to read whichever book one of my grandkids chooses to bring. But I do like the modern books myself.
