My 9 year old ds is taking part in a reading challenge.

I want to encourage ds as much as possible. In all honesty it's making me think of all the books I read at that age.

What children's books do you really like? We'd really like your suggestions.

The Swallows and Amazons series.

Yup. My go-to comfort reading. My Mum left me the set in her will 💖.

National Velvet was one of my favourites.
At my dgm’s house there was a Victorian children’s book called Down the Snow Stairs which was one of the most disturbing books I ever read as a child (I suppose I was about 9). I never dared take it out of the bookshelf again - even as an adult.

The Mennyms. Read the first in the series as a 10yo and read the rest as an adult. Fantastic and underrated books.

I remember that book *Tele". You've just jogged a memory.
