My daughter loved all the Fudge books and Dear Dumb Diary and Ivy and Bean. She recently asked me to find some books that I read when I was young that I think she would like, which made little hearts fly out of my head. When my husband is away we usually pick one night where the kids sleep in my room and we all go to bed early to read together.

It's definitely because I let them watch way too much TV. I need to get off my butt and make them turn it off more often.<br /><br />I have a huge list of treasured kids' classics I want to share with the kids, and we are slowly working our way through them. My middle daughter adores Pippi Longstocking and she also really enjoyed Charlotte's Web (although I had to get my husband to read the final two chapters to her, because I bawl like a baby when Charlotte dies). I tried the Superfudge books with my son, it was a no-go, but he does really like the How To Train Your Dragon series, and he recently enjoyed Freckle Juice and How To Eat Fried Worms, two of my childhood favourites. We've read a lot of Roald Dahl together, as well - always a big hit.Lynnhttp://diaryofaturtlehead.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
