For me it was the jolly postman for my little one is disney fairy tales

Harry Potter made a big impact on ds1, that's the first series he's been desperate to read. My younger ones were similar with the dragon masters series which is also really good!

My little boy has always adored being read to and reading but I will always remember the morning I woke up and could hear him chattering away to himself. I crept next door to his room and stood at the door to find this tiny three year old creature reciting The Giant Jam Sandwich word for word. He loved the cadence and the rhyme and the alliteration. Now he's six and has moved on to Big boy books but he still creeps in to the room when I am reading it to his two year old sister.

For me - It was 'Jacqueline Wilson' books. For my daughter, its Biff, Chip and Kipper!

We've always read to the kids. Lots of picture books when small (we have lots of Oliver Jeffers) and moving on following their interests. They have all enjoyed Roald Dahl and such. I think I consider the pivotal point as being a book which made them really want to read and not stop rather than just me reading a chapter with them before bed. For the biggest that happened last summer at age 8 and a half. Before then he read short bits and bobs, comics and fact books but had never been totally dragged into a story until we started Phillip Pullman Adventures of the New Cut Gang and he started sneaking the book to bed to keep reading. I was thrilled. Since then he has got into Pratchett and gaiman, has read the hobbit, swallows and amazons and all sorts.

Dd has always been a reader, it just happened with her, she needs no encouragement just a steady supply of books!

Ds2 isn't reading independently yet but loves to listen and adores audio books.

For me it was The Folk of the Faraway Tree - my mum started reading it to me and I loved it, I had to finish it then I got the rest of the books in the series. Still love reading it now and hope it captures the imagination of my DC.

My children love to read but the books they love the most are Diary of a wimpy kid, Jacqueline Wilson, Goosebumps and Captain underpants

when I was a child I think the first book that had a massive impact on me was 'Goodnight Mr Tom' such an amazing story. My daughter began her love of books with the Gruffulo and Hungry Caterpillar.

My eldest was an early reader (preschool). She loved Big Mum Plum about a Mummy pig and piglets. Then it was Julia Donaldson's Songbird Collection 1 as she could learn to read with it.

Secret seven, Famous Five and Mallory Towers for me!

I used to love anything by Enid Blyton when i was younger, The Magic Faraway tree being my favourite :)

I loved any roald dahl books they were just so magical

The Faraway Tree stories were the first ones to really capture my imagination. They took me away into another world and I spend many happy hours there.

DS is finally spellbound by Winnie the Pooh! Although he has enjoyed picture books before (the Fergus series was a particular favourite) and usborne non-fiction books, WtP seems to be just right for him now.
DD however loves all books and I can't wait for her to be able to read!

I used to love the 'Read it Yourself' series of books with the writing on one side and a large picture on the other, My babies have had books right from the start and their favourite just now is The Very Hungry Caterpillar

I was a huge fan of Enid Blyton and had most of her books handed down to me from my sisters. I still have our original copy of The Faraway Tree and The Wishing Chair.

My son loved Usbourne 100 first words book

My youngest used to hate reading because she struggled a bit and none of the books available particularly interested her.

Then one year using her world book day voucher (which she was refusing to use) I got her the Holly Webb book 'The Clever little Kitten' I bought it as she likes animals.

It totally transformed her, she actually asked me for the next book in the series for her birthday I bought the box set for her. She actually used to carry the books around with her wherever she went, and got all her friends into Holly Webb books and they'd swap books and get excited when the next one came out.

I credit that world book day book as the turning point in engaging my DD and starting a love of reading for her.

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!

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 :)

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.

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.

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!

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.
