What was the first chapter book you read to your dc?

[bytheMoonlight]

4 yo dd1 is ready for a chapter book I feel.

What did you read to your dc for their first book?

Any suggestions greatly appreciated

Heidi - both she and I loved it

I think DS had the BFG (Roald Dahl), and DD had either My Naughty Little Sister, or Clever Polly and the Stupid Wolf. Also aged around 4 for both of them.

I remember so many of these!!

Charlie and the chocolate factory. dd loved the milly molly mandy books, not really chapter books though.

Milly-Molly-Mandy, My Naughty Little Sister, Teddy Robinson stories, The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark, Gobbolino the Witch's Cat.

The Twits!

My 4yo DS Loved The Enchanted Wood, we are now reading THe Magic Faraway Tree - have to admit we might be getting a little bit bored.

Would love to read him a Roald Dahl book tho I know they do them to death at school.

The Twits here too - DD aged 4 and she LOVED it. Roald Dalh books have that edge of danger and disgustingness that many small children enjoy.

Mrs Pepperpot, My Naughty Little Sister, Milly Molly Mandy.

The twits then fantastic mr fox

George's Marvellous Medicine.

A lot of those mentioned plus Paddington Bear, Winnie the Pooh and Mary Plain.

Fantastic mr fox which she loved! Ironic as I read it to DH aged about 24 because he'd never read it!
But she wouldn't settle with Charlie choc factory.
She loves Amelia Jane Enid blyton.
Doing a huge Disney compendium at mo, interspersed with fave's gruffalo etc

The Owl Who Was Afraid of The Dark, read it recently to DD just before she turned 4, and she loved it.

The Twits....appealed to my DS both pictures and text...hilarious

dd (just turned 4) is LOVING the enchanted wood. Took her a couple of chapters to get int, but she is in love with silky and laughs hysterically at saucepan man. I can remember those feelings so well from when I was a child. Such a well written book!

My 4yr old loved The Twits too. We've just embarked on The Magic Faraway Tree which she's enjoying but not holding her attention as well as The Twits.

Olga Da Polga - Michael Bond

The first one for our kids so far was The Faraway Tree (or whichever one came first it might be the enchanted wood), completed that series then moved onto Roald Dahl.

The BFG and now we're on to Fantastic Mr Fox. I'll be looking some of these others up though. I have such fond memories of being read to by my Mother all huddled together on the bottom bunk, and that anticipation of the next chapter

The Children of Cherry Tree Farm by Enid Blyton. We're currently onto the Famous Five, as a break between Beast Quests.

DD had my naughty little sister. Then all Milly-Molly-Mandy

The Twits for DS and Rainbow Bloody Fairies for DD who was 3 but really wanted me to read them to her.
