The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe is my fav.

The Tiger that came to tea

The Faraway Tree books, magical, funny and unforgettable

It's so difficult to choose. I loved Peter Pan, Heidi and The Secret Garden. Then when I was older I fell in love with Little Woman, Good Wives and Jo's Boys. I've always liked classic stories and DD1 (6) seems to like them too. I can't wait to share all my favourites.

My childhood favourite used to be Enid Blytons Famous Five books. I used to get lost in their adventures and wished I could be part of the group. My kids love Dr. Seuss books, especially Green Eggs and Ham, they think it's really funny.

"I Love You, Just The Way You Are" (Bartholomew and George).

The story is perfect for a less-than-perfect day. Bartholomew, the little bear, has spent the day being grumpy about everything from his porridge to his stumpy little legs. However, George, the big bear, does not get cross, nor does he become a shouty bear, he tells Bartholomew that he loves him, just the way he is.

A lesson to parents everywhere and a lovely reminder that a cuddle CAN make all the difference.

My favourite was always fantastic mr fox and the Beatrix potter books, my daughter is a huge fan or the mister men books and the twits and BFG by Rohld Dahl xx

my favorite book as a child was probably the first book I ever read front to back, which was Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl. Although there was also and obsure book I still re-read today that I first read in primary school, which was called Black Maria by Dianna Wynne Jones. The latter book was so interesting and compelling to read even as a child.

I love:Holly & Ivy
All Roald Dahl
You Choose
Lots of Enid Blyton
Heidi
Little Women

As a youngster I'd tend towards illustrated books when self-reading. The only ones I recall going back to again and again were Asterix books because of their humour. If being read to I would happily listen to any Ronald Dahl book; my favourites were The Witches and Matilda.

As a parent reading for my now 3yr toddler there are a few stand-out books so far: A Squash and a Squeeze, A Bit Lost, The Tiger who came to Tea and I Want My Hat Back.

Enid Blyton's Folk of the Faraway Tree books....loved them as a child and still love them now as I read them to my kids.

Elmer the Patchwork Elephant series by David McKee are beautifully illustrated books suit to young children

The secret garden

The Story of baked beans is our favourite :)

Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome - not a literary masterpiece but full of wholesome content and great family values

I think Rod Campbell's Dear Zoo has proved to be one of our most popular books when my DDs were 1-2. Now, The Fairytale Hairdresser series of books are a firm favourite with both my girls (now aged 3 & 5).

the very hungry caterpillar

Another vote for The Magic Faraway Tree and The Enchanted Wood (Blyton.) They have that rare combination of being in simple enough language for even a young reader to read alone, yet exciting, funny, fast=paced and wonderfully magical.

How many hours did I spend as a young child climbing trees, making Slippery-Slips, searching for The Tree in the local woods and gazing up half-excited, half-scared in case Dame Washalot's water came crashing down, imagining Lands that might come to the top of the tree for me to adventure in!

Many other magical books by EB gripped me, but those were special and were for my children many years later.

I loved the Famous Five series when I was growing up however my almost 3 year old loves anything Disney, her favorite being Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree

I loved the Topsy and Tim books and still have most of my childhood copies. All the essential childhood experiences are there from fancy dress parties to new babies, and all of them embrace the simple things in life.

My favourite book as a child was The Enchanted Wood by Enid Blyton, I read and re-read it that many times that the book almost fell apart. I still have it somewhere with my name written inside the front cover (aged 6 handwriting), I must read it again soon to see if it instils the same magical feelings as it did then.

I love Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. When you think about how long ago it was written and yet my son still reads it. There have been two film versions of it too, which are also good. It's got a good message in it about the bad children losing out and the good child winning the prize.

Where The Wild Things Are - beautiful illustrations and lovely whimsical quality to it!

Sonics = so much!

The Snowman. When I was little my mum got it from the library and apparently I cried sonics when it was time to return it she had to buy me my own copy! Still love it now - my Christmas Eve tradition is watching The Snowman with a hot chocolate and I'm drinking tea from a Snowman mug as I type! I now 'read' the book to my DD and we discuss all the other adventures The Snowman could have. It's a timeless classic and as it has no words encourages children to use their imaginations to tell the story.
