Essex Mums Book Recommendations

[weezypops]

I want to put an article together on book recommendations for kids and was wondering if you could help! All and any suggestions are great - favourites of yours, or your kids and for any ages. A lot of mine are picture books, with a few older ones thrown in so I'm looking for suggestions across the board! Don't worry about categorising them by age, I'll do that later!

Flat Stanley - William read it the other week and thought it was excellent.

That's not my books - James likes these

Maybe you should have a list of recommended authors and then individual books? You could say like favourite authors include: Julia Donaldson, Jez Alborough, Roald Dahl, Anne Fine, Moris Gleitzman, Jacqueline Wilson
