Favourite Books

Seen as it is National Children's Book Week, I thought I would show you all what my daughter's favourite books are right now.

Elise has always loved reading but her favourite books are the Rainbow Magic Fairies series. Her current favourite fairy is Esme the Ice Cream Fairy.


She is now waiting patiently for her birthday as she has asked for some of the books written by Jacqueline Wilson.

Freya's current favourite book is all about ballerinas. She is at the stage where she can read a lot of it by herself but still needs mummy's help with those "tricky" words.


Gracie at three years old can't read herself but she loves a story time with mummy. We have had the same book on repeat for a while.


Bless Gracie, she aspires to be rapunzel and is desperate to have long long hair like her idol, one day!!

Now I know Layla couldn't really pick a favourite book for herself because at 14 months old, she doesn't really know what favourite means, so I picked the book that I love reading with her. It had to be the hungry caterpillar, not the original though, no the little learning library.


I like this set because there are so many different things to look at, point at, make sounds at, I think they are perfect for little ones.

So what are your children's current favourite books?? Do you enjoy the books they read too??

  2. Emmy's current favourite is James and the Giant Peach - slightly too old for her but it means she gets longer story time at bedtime which she loves.

    Harry loves - Peekaboo Bunny at bedtime currently but he just loves turning the pages of any book really

  3. James, who is 2, likes any books which are digger related. Penny, at 5 months, likes ones which make noises.

  4. I bought the Hungry Caterpillar library for my son's 1st birthday, he is nearly 3 now and they still get looked at. They are a lovely little set.

  12. Gracie loves the dinosaur that pooped a planet and Zach loves any board book with big pictures to point at or just chew on. He's to impatient to listen to stories (a typical male)
