I'm trying to find a series of books that I read in late 90s early 00s when I was between 8-12 years old.

Each book had a different animal on the front, one had a hamster or a guinea pig, a cat, a dog etc. The series was about a girl who either lived on a farm or her dad was a vet. I'm probably clutching at straws here...

It's driving me potty. I know DSD would love them but I can't remember them for love nor money and google is drawing a blank!

They weren't the james Herriot childrens ones?

[MichelleScarn]

I loved them!

I can’t remember the series name but were they the books that had alliterative titles? The only one I remember is ‘Bunnies in the Bathroom’

Animal Ark by Ben Baglio

[SanJunipero]

The Animal Ark series by Lucy Daniels?

Just beware of assuming your dc will enjoy the books you did when you were little. Mine have absolutely ruined any hopes of this for me

[Pippa12]

I loved these books too, Animal Ark I think.

If it Was the animal ark books, my daughter read them about 5 years ago and still loved them!

Yes to PP about books from my youth. Stig of the dump went down like a led balloon!

I was an avid babysitters club fan but they probably haven't dated very well!

I gave my sons my Richard scarry books from the 70's and They didn't go down well either

I mean come on must be better than bloody biff and chip?????

@Tangledtresses haha true about the biff , chip and kipper. I loved Tintin growing up, and was hoping my son would too , boy I was wrong

[LMW1990]

We've honestly had some right tripe from school. I'm not surprised she didn't want to read them! They are with us for 2 home school days at the moment and as my partner wfh I've changed my hours to be with them to help with work. I'm planning to do a family story time for all of us with Roald Dahl to start as they are familiar with the stories and they are familiar with them. Then I'd like to do individual books more tailored for each of them as the age gap (4 years) is getting more noticeable now.

DSD has been sent Millie Molly Mandy home to read but whilst nostalgic, it's utterly unrelatable for her!

Oh my GOD! Animal Ark!!! Brings back so many childhood memories. Oh the nostalgia

@Tangledtresses I was quite pleased when she brought it home. I'm definitely enjoying it more than she is. I have to explain everything!

Thinking about it my tin tin mug will be perfect for my mid morning home school gin

I had the same with stig - one of my favourite books.
My naughty little sister, black beauty and narnia have fared better.

[Canwecancel2020]

Oh and we read James Herriot to our dd (though there is a tiny bit of bad language to leave out)

[Catdogmum]

Animal Ark! If she enjoys them, try anything by Megan Rix too 😊
