My 8yo niece tells me she has never read a book apart from her reading books at school. This makes me really sad - I was an avid reader as a child and both my (adult) DDs are still voracious readers. I did buy her some picture books when she was younger but she can't remember them.. Last time she stayed with us she was totally engrossed in DD2's collection of Horrible Histories comics.
Anyway, I have her for the whole weekend soon. What books would be good we could read together? I'm thinking David Walliam's Awful Auntie (because she calls me Auntie - not auntie Olly, just Auntie) - is it feasible we could make a good enough start on that to hook her in? Any other suggestions?
