My DC are all secondary age now and while I can remember some of the books they used to love, I'd love to know what sort of books your 4-7 year olds love now (in addition to the "classics")
I now have a job (overseas) teaching ESL at a Kindergarten and I do a storytime session with them, their English level is not too bad but sometimes they don't "get" a concept.
So far they have loved:
Where's my Teddy? - Jez Alborough- totally got the teddy mix up and thought it was hilarious
Duck in the Truck - Jez Alborough - liked the rhyming and the fact everyone got dirty
The Blue Balloon (Mick Inkpen)
Harry and the Dinosaurs
Winnie the Witch - Valerie Thomas
All the Julia Donaldson well known ones (Gruffalo/Room on the Broom/Tyrannasaurus drip/Snail and the Whale)
Kipper
Rumble in the Jungle
They love the Mr Men- and I do read these sometimes, but I find them a bit difficult to read to a group (10-12) as they are so small in format.
They didn't like/get:
Funnybones
The Large Family stories
The Rainbow Fish
Guess How much I love you
I'm in the UK in a few weeks and hoping to get some recommendations to stock up on some more stories (the book shops here are a bit limited)
