What have you been reading to your dc/s tonight?

[Takver]

We just finished Henrietta's House by Elisabeth Goudge - lovely book, but aimed at a bit older than I had realised when I skimmed it in the shop DD seemed to enjoy it though, despite the rather old fashioned language. I kind of miss the old days of Kipper & the Gruffalo though .. .

dd is 9 - one of the Malory Towers books (upper 4th?).

Finding it is really grating on me how there is nothing good about Gwendoline at all in these books. Nothing. I feel like making up something nice about her because I can't bear having to read all the time how everything she says or does is bad or if it's half-way good there is a selfish underlying reason.

Starting to think Enid Blyton had someone from RL in mind when she wrote about Gwendoline. Someone she hated very much. Dd is enjoying the books though

DS read Lord of the flies.

I read to the dd's

DD1 - a chapter of Mr Stink.

DD2- We finished fantastic Mr Fox.

DD3- Chapter of Destiny the pop star fairy .

DD4/5 - The Gruffalo again.

Read part of Wolves of the willouby chase am surprised how old fashioned writing is but the story so far is FAB.

LOL at Destiny the pop star fairy

OMG reading 4 different things every night puts me to shame.

I love story time...tonight we had 'The Cow that laid an Egg', '25 December Lane' and something else I can't remember! DD (5) is now reading and i will so miss stories when she is older

I'm impressed that with 6 children you find the energy/time to read from 4 different stories, Comewhinewithme!

I don't manage it every night but atm during the evening I am stuck to the sofa bf dd5 so I use that time to read to the dc.

I do love reading though and want to pass it on to them I do have a slight problem with buying books too we have way too many and they are the only thing I won't throw/give away .
