anyone any suggestions for new ones…lolLarge Book of nursery rhymes..there is one called Mother Goose and other rhymes it is illustrated by Axel Sheffler the same man who illustrated Gruffalo etc.
There are hundreds of rhymes in there with a little story along side it told by Mother Goose.I always read nursery rhymes to my dd from being very young to the present day and at the last parents evening her teacher said thats why she was an exceptional reader.
She has seen over the years, that kids who knew all the nursery rhymes were the best readers…used to think it was very old fashioned when my mum read them to her but I am glad I kept it up.Dinasaurs love underpants is also a very good book..as is anything by Julia Donaldson..such as the Smartest Giant in Town etc etc…

HMM i have all those books… love all the Grufflo books, i have that mothergoose book and the stickman think also illustrated by Axel Sheffler
The smartest Giant in town is brilliant….
All ladybird books…The snail and the whale is very good too, as is Charlie Cooks favourite Book.
Might start collecting the Enid Blyton books too such as the famous five I am sure my dd would love them.
Any book is great for kids once you read to them and get them to help read once they are older you can’t go wrong!!
Makes me laugh…. made up a song for the smartest giant in town… basically sing the "My tie is a scarf for a cold giraffe part..etc…" and now the kids sing the whole thing with me!
Love all of those books!J is 8 and is a fantastic reader, takes after me…..i eat the books…just read ceclia aherns new one and its fab 🙂 Onto James patterson now.

They can be a bit hard to read my nephew is 9 now and got the hang of it this year, they speak in the 3rd case sometimes and this confused him….. I got them in Eason in a box set (was xmas) and they were only 14 euro for 3 or 4 books… he really really loves them

Anyone who ever needs any help to find the right books for kids don’t hesitate to ask me and if you are in Waterstones ask for a children’s bookseller to assist you, there are four of us! Don’t forget to check the children’s noticeboard in store for up coming events.
There are two kids bookclubs one for age 9-12 and one for teens and for the younger ones we have storytime every Saturday at 11am and 3pm
