My favourite book as a child was Charlotte's web. I remember being caught reading it with my torch under my covers and being told to go to sleep...problem was I had to know what was going to happen which meant reading to the end then going down to my mum in floods of tears!
The book deals with a lot of issues such as being different, friendship and ultimately loss of someone you love all done in an entirely appropriate way for children. A great read for all ages!

For me, it would be anything by Roald Dahl. They were my bread and butter growing up and gave me such an imagination.

The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton

A child's garden of verses by Robert Louis Stevenson

My favourite book at a child was Enid Blyton's The adventures of Mr Pink Whistle. I still have the book and will read it to my son as he grows up. I loved the pictures in it as well as the adventures.

My boys loved any Roald Dahl books especially Georges Marvellous Medicine.

There are so many lovely books but for me it will always be "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". So many creative characters and Alice's curiosity and determination is wonderful.

My favourite childhood books were Enid Blyton, especially the Faraway Tree series.

All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot was the first book I read as a child that I couldn't actually put down until it was finished.

As well as being an educational and entertaining read, it inspired an enduring interest in animal welfare along with a later fascination with modern British history and, in particular, local dialects and customs.

Any book which educates, entertains and inspires deserves a place on the ultimate list of children's books.

Our favourite has always been Dr Seuss - Oh, The Places You'll Go!

Oh goodness, can't choose just one, so here goes: milly-Molly-Mandy series, The Magic Faraway Tree, Mallory Towers, St Clare's, Trebizon, Redwall series by Brian Jacques, Anne of Green Gables, Emily of New Moon, What Katy Did (and Next), Little Women, Heidi, Black Beauty, The Practical Princess and Other Stories, The Three Investigators (Hitchcock), Nancy Drew.... I need to stop. You can just read them over and over. In fact, I might just go and read one right now... Nostalgia!!!

I loved Swallows and Amazons SO much. I lost count of how many times I read it

Ten Little Pirates is our favourite, the story is lovely and the different things to count on each page is brilliant

The Grumpalump I loved reading any rhyming book to my children, including the Duck in the Truck but the Grumpalump was definitely my children's favourite

The kids and i love a trilogy by a awesome little known author called Yvonne Emery, They are Xenitha ,Return to Xenitha and Xenitha the finale they are adventurous stories filled with whimsical creatures and a frightening sorceress....... Jack, Abigail and Ethan are called back to Xenitha once again. This time, although only a year has passed in their world, twenty-four years have passed in Xenitha and they are devastated to learn that some of their dear friends have in that time passed away or are now a lot older. They meet new friends, offspring's of their older friends; it is with these new friends that they embark on a new adventure to go in search of Ophelia and Keefer's son, Prince Willem, who has mysteriously disappeared, last seen with a man named Bard. As the mystery unfolds Ophelia and Keefer are angry to learn that the man named Bard is in fact the son of the late Nyklus, which Conan has kept secret from them. Although everyone is under the same idea, that Bard is as evil as his father and aunt, Conan believes that he is just misunderstood and yearns for the grandson he has been deprived of all these years. It isn't long before they discover that Bard is a metamorpher. They now have to be on their guard at all times until they enlist the help of a candor bird, the only creature that a metamorpher cannot change into. These birds are able to look deep into one's soul and see if that being is good or evil. Along the journey they meet Lanikai, the queen of the seas, who comes to their aid on more than one occasion. In this book Conan discovers a family tree and is shocked to find out the true identity of his first wife and why all the atrocities first began in Xenitha.Right i'm also off to make gillyweasel cookies (don't ask! read the first book to find out more) P.s I also got a mention in the last book....

Fantastic Mr Fox, closely followed by George's Marvelous Medicine

Wind in the willows

George's marvellous medicine.

It would have to be The Twits, as read to me by my dad - happy memories!

End Blyton's - Famous Five, I loved them, and they are still going strong today!

My son absolutely loves the Gruffalo, he turns he back to us for a tickle when the purple prickles come up and growls too. My favourite story from my childhood was Only One Woof but I can't remember who by. It was a bout two sheepdog puppies and i loved it.

they both love the gruffalo

I loved reading The Tiger Who Came To Tea by Judith Kerr as a child and then reading it to my own children.
For older children, Charlotte's Web by EB White has to be on the list.

Oo.. I love a good book chat! I LOVED reading as a child & still do! I started collecting up the books I enjoyed when I was young & building up a library for my little one.. that was about 15 years ago & my other half curses me for the piles of books everywhere! Fortunately, my little boy is getting really into books - yay! Not always the same ones I did though! As a young child, I really loved The Jolly Postman - it's great to be able to open those envelopes & really take part in the story - my little one enjoys it for the same reason. When I was about 8 or 9 I read 'The Little Vampire' by Angela Sommer-Bodenburg - I loved the fantasy element & I would get lost in the whole series. Definitely one to share with my little one when he's a bit older! So they're my nominations - 'The Jolly Postman' & 'The Little Vampire' - :) x

Percy the Park Keeper is very popular with DD.
