I always liked The Three Bears, and read it many times to my children. Oh those were the days.

The story I enjoyed reading to my older boy when he was a toddler was Peepo by Janet & Allan Ahlberg. My younger boy and I enjoyed Owl Babies by Martin Waddell.

Maureen You took the words out of my mouth! LOL My copy of Peace at Last has more sellotape than paper now! We're going on a Bear Hunt is one of my Grandchildren's favourites. We have to do all the actions and sound effects. Not very good for a bedtime story to wind down with! Have you read The Gruffalo? It is a wonderful story in rhyme about an imaginary monster. Or is he............? My daughters loved My Naughty Little Sister books and I've just introduced my younger Grandaughters to them. Another favourite is Funnybones, and also Burglar Bill. I love it when my Grandchildren stay the night - it gives me an excuse to read my favourite stories again! Sue

The hysterical Gruffalo, a mouse outwits all the creatures in the forest that want to eat it. (in rhyme) The Room on the Broom, also in rhyme and really funny and a lovely one called Johnny and the Big Hen, beautiful pictures, set in the summer in a farming village. Some stories you don't mind reading every night! Abigail

My 6 year old loves all stories but two favourites are ' We're going on a bear hunt' and 'I don't want to go to bed' which is about a little tiger, and i have to confess my favourite! Yvette
