Loads. I especially remember The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and The Hobbit as they took ages!

Oh and loved Where The Wild Things Are, What-a-Mess books l, Meg and Mog, The Tiger Who Came to Tea and all the Roald Dahl books!

Im 66.. had 4 sisters.. before bed.. after our baths and into our pj's with toast n milk my Dad would play us a few records on the old record player instead of reading.
We had Burl Ives animal songs.
Sparky and his magic piano.
Sound of music.
A few others l can't remember.. then it was off to bed with my belly full and the song still in my head. .we were taught to read before starting school and our house was always full of books. My parents loved to read and l have always read from a young age and my sisters too
I used to love Milly Molly Mandy.
Famous five.
The lion the witch and the wardrobe etc

I loved Milly Molly Mandy too! Oh and The Worst Witch ☺️
