Little Late for World Book Day

Ok I know I'm late to the party, I do realise that World Book Day happened last week but for some reason my daughter's school decided to celebrate this week.

What I love is that they have dedicated a whole week to it, they've done something every day to celebrate books and just how important they are in our lives.

The children have had the opportunity to visit our local library and pick a book to borrow and take home, now this is something I do regularly with my children however some kids have never got the chance. I personally love the library, it means we can change what they are reading on a regular basis without it costing a penny!!!

Lots of activities have been arranged including making their own books, writing book reviews and creating their own bookmarks. Here's the bookmarks that Freya created with her own fair hands :

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??
