Sounds a bit weird but are there any children's books you still read for enjoyment?
For me, although I strangely never read Dr Seuss when I was younger, I bought one of his books the other week because I do find the messages in it quite profound and optimistic - it's called "oh the places you'll go".
So wbu?
I recently bought Danny the Champion of the world, by Roald Dahl. I was doing a placement at a Primary School and the class that I was in were reading it and I had to read some of it to them. I read 3 chapters (6, 7 and 8) and had no idea what was going on so decided to buy it when my placement ended and had some time to read it.
I haven't actually started reading it yet though and it's been 4 weeks haha. But I've enjoyed Roald Dahls work for a while. Especially the movie adaptations, Matilda, The Witches, James and the giant peach, and the BFG.
I'm not a fan of reading but them ladybird bug ones (they were really really small hard back books which are probably old now) were my favourites, they had small stories about this family and how they kept having days out like going to the park and having a birthday party
it was fun at the time but it's sad because i rarely read now :(
only if it's an interesting book obviously...
I still totally adore the Narnia books, such a fab history and geography to it all
Ronald Dahl is a firm favourite since James and the giant peach was my first ever book but some that I really love and wish better movies were made from are lemony snicket's series o unfortunate events. hard to find any books that are quite so dark written for children these days.
Awh I completely forgot about Roald Dahl books, I used to read so many of them when I was younger and loved them. I might buy The Twits again as that was one of my favourites.
One of my favourite books is technically Fiction 9 - 12 and is called Dragonskin Slippers by Jessica Day George. I reread it about a month ago lol!
Also let's not all forget the Harry Potters are also Fiction 9 - 12 x
All of the Beatrix Potter books. I'm read them from time-to-time. It's £1.99 on the Kindle store for the complete set (23 books?)
