I've always read to both the kids together for 20 mins. Increasingly they are becoming very choosy about what I read - what one wants, the other hates. Ho hum. I could do one night, her choice, the next night his, but I miss reading to them when they are both gripped.

We've read the lighter Roald Dahl, loved Pippi and Karlson, loved Claude, Mary Poppins, Alice...Faraway Tree.

Any suggestions that might please both of them!! Thank you.

That's a great idea - and I have a copy somewhere too!

Narnia books. Great read out loud books for that age.
