Need to get some birthday presents for my daughter (and all her friends) and would love some new book ideas. She is only now learning how to read (can sounds out simple words etc) but would like to get her some books that are enjoyable for me to read to her.


We have been reading How to train your Dragon, Pippi, Clarice Bean etc. She still likes looking at pictures but I think is bored of very simplistic repetitive stories.


Any ideas welcome

The Tiger That Came to Tea is a fab book- it is a picture book, but is written very well (by Judith Kerr). I've happily read it many a time!

As for chapter books mine really enjoyed The Faraway Tree- an adventure in every chapter! Is a bit old fashioned and maybe not the best written(?) but fun stories, and the chapters are short enough to keep a 5 year old interested.

    • How do you know it's madness unless you know what they plan to replace its services  with? And isn't Mount Pleasant a Royal Mail sorting office? If so, that's nothing to do with counters.  Royal Mail is a completely separate - and privately owned - business.    
    • I think you will find they are investigating potentially illegal comments, which may or may not be "hurtful" . And to the best of my knowledge, most of  the demos which "seem to be happening every weekend" are attended by people who do not want to just stand by and watch whilst thousands of innocent people just like you - except they happen to live elsewhere - are being illegally slaughtered. You think there's no possible link between "non-crime hate speech" between kids in school and one school kid later stabbing another school kid, then?
    • I'd suggest using a Faraday pouch . Such as 2x Car Key Signal Blocker Faraday Pouch Police are too busy investigating "Non-crime hate speech" such as between kids in school.
    • Police won’t be interested as they are to busy investigating hurtful comments people have written on internet and demos which seem to be happening every weekend,well done for reporting tho and giving us the heads up to be careful 👍
