From when she was 6 years old, my daughter loved Rainbow Fairy books and must have read about 100 of them! Now she reads Jacqueline Wilson books, and sometimes spends hours on end reading.

Where do you start ? Books galore we read so some favourites were Thomas Tank and Mr Men and Enid Blyton then of course Harry Potter etc

I loved Winnie the pooh when I was little. My dd loves each peach pear plum , stick man and the princess and the pea the most.

DD 2 loves Meg and Mog. She has had it read to her so often that she has virtually remembered all of the words and "reads" it to her younger brother (4 months), getting very cross if she doesn't think he's listening.

So many. I have fond memories of mum reading Peter Pan to us, tucked up i bed. We LOVED early all of the Enid Blyton books, especially Magic Faraway Tree. Milly Molly Mandy was a favourite too. I hope my sons end up loving reading as much as I do.

The Famous Five!

Good night Mr Tom was my absolute favourite! All the subsequent Michelle Magorian books were great too

Also loved Enid Blyton - esp Famous Five and all the boarding school books, Malory towers, red roofs and chalet school.

Black beauty and Heidi too and the Wilbur Smith children's books about the brothers in Africa

I could go on and on...

My children love reading, I have to say that the Harry Potter books first captured their imagination and were lovely books to read to them at bedtime.

I grew up reading the thomas the tank engine books. They came with an audio cassette so i read along to the tape which really helped my reading. The boys love their disney book.s

As a pre-reader my son enjoyed the rhyme and repetition of books like Peepo and Shark in the Park, Dr Seuss etc. He enjoys anything ridiculous (e.g. there's a lion in my cornflakes, the day louis got eaten...) and stories about Young People's Issues like going to school / sharing etc. He has just started school and now likes the Usborne young reader books.

The Milly Molly Mandy books kick started my love of reading.

Oliver Jeffers is a favourite at the moment

Our favourites (most read and memorised) were We're Going on a Bear Hunt, Little Rabbit Foo Foo and The Gruffalo. At 14, DD1 still knows them by heart. It's lovely hearing her retell them to SDD & SDS.

Each Peach Pear Plum... I think I still know it by heart.

My son loved the gruffalo so much as a baby/toddler that we had to read 2 stories at night as he would insist on reading the gruffalo every night and I ended up bored to tears I can recite the book even now.

He's now 7. I bought him James and the giant peach today. He read it cover to cover in less than 2 hours.

I've read to all of my children since birth. My 2 year old and 1 year old love cuddling up with a story, and the 7 year old loves reading to them too. DDs (the 2 year old) current favourite is her new book "zog and the flying doctors" she has sat looking at the pictures all day, and we have read it 3 times before she went to bed.

My daughter loves Malory towers and now other Enid Blyton books as well which she wouldn't pick up at the library before. She adores them and wants to go to boarding school. St Clare's is now next on our list of books to buy as a result.

My children loved reading the Gruffalo when they were little. They also love Houdini the Disappearing Hamster

The enchanted wood by roald dahl

For me, Peter Pan. My mum read me a 70's version of the story that had a hologram on the front and the images were of puppets acting out the story. It was just the right about of creepy and exciting! My mum read to me a lot, and that was a big part of my love of reading. When I started reading for myself it was books like the Famous Five, Mallory Towers.

For my DC (5 and 2), it's hard to say! They have so many books. We read to them every night - favourite authors are the usual suspects: Eric Carle, Julia Donaldson, Jon klassen, Oliver Jeffers (of course!). But they love books and will give most things a go - hope that continues.

My son loves joining in with the Julia Donaldson books, we have to read them again and again especially Monkey Puzzle, Room on the Broom and the Gruffalo!

When I was younger I lived opposite a library, where I would frequently borrow anything by Roald Dahl. I have started reading his books to my little boy, who also loves them.

I taught myself how to read with the Mr Men books. DD has always loved books but preferred being read to. Until we started reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, she just couldn't put it down! Now she's always got a book on the go just like her Mum.

Fox's socks by Julia Donaldson..We must have read it 9,000 times! ..also made getting dressed much easier as we would say some of the rhymes :)

Famous Five books for me. I'm currently reading them in order to my two children (7 and 8) who love them as much as I did! I do find myself reminding them that it shouldn't always be Anne who does all the 'housework' jobs and that Julian and Dick are quite capable of making beds too!
