Rythm, Rhyme and Madcap Humour......... What am I talking about?... Dr Seuss books of course :-D

Yesterday my brother came round and his children were laden with a bag of books. It seems that their favourite at the moment is 'The Cat in The Hat'. Also a favourite of mine when I was about 5 lol

I also loved Dr Suess books......both the words and illustrations :-)

I devoured every book written by Enid Blyton....particularly loved 'The Famous Five'.
Not sure whether she is popular today - probably not :-)

My mum was also a fan of Enid Blyton :-). Lorraine, if you've got any First Editions - might be worth a pretty penny :-D

No such luck lol :-D

Afternoon Piers, and lovely to hear of Emily's progress :-) <3

It was a very very long time ago....way back in the mists of time...lol...but I loved to read What Katy Did and also all the Just William books.

BC XX

My mum also loved Enid Blyton and as she still has them all, I think I'll suggest she takes a look lol

BC, I loved 'What Katy Did' as well :-)

Good Afternoon BC, lovely to speak with you again :-) Have to agree, the 'Just William' books were fantastic weren't they. :-)


Catie, get searching lol

what Katy did Next, was a belter!!

I'll have to take your word for it Bob lol :-D

If you are looking for young age group books, how about 'The Tiger who came to Tea', or

'The very hungry caterpillar' which was voted no2 in a list of the best loved books by Leeds Uni students c2004.

(it was a rigged vote ;-) :-D)

I used to love books about girls boarding school , such as the Chalet School series by Elinor Brent-Dyer

Hello Det :-) - thanks for your suggestions - will take a look :-D

~~~~~ Piers....Long time no speak, glad to hear the family are all well :-D <3

I loved reading Mister Stink by David Walliams to Little L :-D

Hello Mersey.... Nice to speak with you again. Hope you and yours are well :-D

Not heard of Mister Stink lol..... but judging by the title - bet a lot of children make a bee-line for it lol Thanks for the suggestion :-D
