You've gone very quiet Piers. You're not actually doing any work are you lol :-D :-D

Go on Mau :-0 :-D

Lovely stories Catiel.......am now thinking I should read them again :-D

Mau, I loved 'Little Women' too and also the film :-D

Enid Blyton and Milly Molly Mandy books .......then when a little older Little Women :-)

Thanks Catie - much appreciated :-D :-D

Just a thought Piers and I know I should have mentioned it before, but hey I forgot lol.
There's a website called Red House Books and you'll find LOTS of ideas for childrens books + you can shop by age :-D

Maggie - thank you for your reply :-)
The Gruffalo books look really good fun lol - thanks for the suggestion
:-)

My grandchildren love the Gruffalo books.

When my grand daughter was born, my daughter & I scoured book shops and charity shops for 'The Tale of Georgie Grubb', 'Maisie Middleton' (don't remember who they were by)and 'The Sick Cow', by Val Biro, as they were my daughters favourites, and, though I had 2 of the originals, they were in a bit of a state!!

The grandchildren love the above 3 as well - I think my daughter has found newer issues on Amazon or e-bay - I have 3 grandchildren now, and their books take a hammering :-S

Have to admit, my elder grandson's (aged 4) favourite book at the moment is 'The history of Tractors', (lots of pictures) that I bought in a charity shop, to see what tractors my g g grandad may have worked on when he moved from being an ag lab to building the machinery that threw him off the land.
....Grandson lives in the countryside....

Oh yes, 'The Very Hungry Caterpiller' is a lovely book :-D

Thanks Mersey, I'll take a good look. We've a few bookworms in the family :-D

Piers its a lovley book and its now been made into a childrens drama think its going to be screened next year.... :-D :-D

Ratburger is good too again by David Walliams

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

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

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

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

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