Recommendations for good books to read aloud - that adults will enjoy too!

[speedyfingers]

I'm looking for books to read aloud to my two DSs (aged 6 and 8). They love being read to, but it's got to be exciting and funny for me and/or my other half to enjoy it too.
They have loved David Walliams and Andy Stanton, but I want something a little bit more grown up / with more exciting adventures / greater sense of place....

Frank Cottrell Boyce is very funny. Try Millions.
