Hello Folks,

nancy drew books, the little princess, Grim's?m fairy tales - Rose Red in particular   

 

as an adult my children's book favs are:

 

The Big Orange Splot by D. Pinkwater, really anything by Pinkwater

 

anything by Robert Munsch, especially, I'll Love You Forever

 

When Sophie Get Angry,   Really, Really Angry   - can't recall author right now.

How young?

 

My 6 year olds favourite is The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child - shhh but I kinda love reading these too :)

 

My 10 year old favours Harry Potter.

 

Going back for my older daughter.. Age 7 we did Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and loads of other Roahl Dahl books but for sure that one is the best. Age 8 she loved The Worst Witch and the Horrid Henry books, Henry books are early readers and quite funny actually. Age 9 we discovered an author called jacqueline Wilson and she's quite a girlie author.

 

Would suggest avoiding the phonics learning to read books like the plague....watching paint dry is more enjoyable!

 

As a child I liked Worst Witch too and all the lord of the rings books.

 

I applaud your commitment to books :)  I love them and it's never too early to pass on the passion. Nothing teaches children like reading, their vocabulary gets better both written and spoken and their imagination is encouraged. So I love this post and will be watching for anything I may have missed for my girls. xx

My all time favorite is.... Oh The Places You'll Go...  (stay tuned for pictures of me in Thing costume at my daughter's class reading the book to them for Dr. Suess' birthday)

 

I loved the Sweet Valley High and Sweet Valley Twins when I was growing up.

 

My son loves the fanfiction Minecraft novels, Captain Underpants, Harry Potter, Bad Kitty etc.

 

My daughter loves Pete the cat, Clarke the shark, Dr. Suess, etc.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
