The Twins Top 5 Books They Love To Read

This week I have let the twins take over my blog. I asked them to get me their 5 favourite books that they love to read and to tell me why they love them in one or two sentences. These are the books that they chose and the sentences are completely unedited or influenced.

First up is Poppy:

1: "You're All My Favourites" by Sam McBratney:

"They read this on Cbeebies Bedtime Stories and it is a good one. I like the pretty pictures"

2: "The Jelly That Wouldn't Wobble" by Angela Mitchell:

SPOILER ALERT: "I like how this book ends when the boy gets lots of chocolate coins"

3: "Dear Dinosaur" by Nicola O'Byrne:

"It has real letters to read which are fun to read and it's got dinosaurs in it and I like dinosaurs (roooooaaaaar)"

4: "Reindeer's First Christmas" by Caroline Quin and Emily Hawkins

"I like the pop up pages and I like pop up books and I like reindeers and it is about a beautiful little reindeer who finds Santa Claus. He is on a big trip and then he finds him"

The original French version - Poppy has the translated one

5: "Superworm" by Julia Donaldson

"I like this because he gets lost and then his friends save him and because Superworm is super long and Superworm is super strong"

And here are Ruby's:

1: "Tiddler" by Julia Donaldson

"I like this book because it is my Daddy's favourite and it's about a fish with a big imagination"

2: "The Gruffalo" by Julia Donaldson

"I think this is scary but I love that it's a made up monster and I like how the mouse finds a nut and the nut was good"

3: "The Big Books of Bears" by Various

"I love bears and these are bear stories. I love all of them"

4: "The Fairytale Hairdresser and Father Christmas" by Abie Longstaff and Lauren Beard

"I like this book because it has Santa in it and I like Santa. I like that it has Rudolph in it too"

5: "Toddler Treasury" by Katie Saunders

"I like this because it is a fun book even if it is for babies I still love to read it"

Some great choices in there from the Twiglets. I particularly like that "Tiddler" is in there as I bloody love that book. "Dear Dinosaur" is also a great book and I really enjoy reading that with the twins. I love a book with real letters in it.

What are you child(ren)'s favourite books that they love to read? Leave me a comment or tweet me.

I will sign off here

Until next time...

A Dad Review: Discovery Museum

DISCOVERY MUSEUM One of the things I love about living in Newcastle is that there is so much to do within a pretty small area. From my house I can travel 4 miles in one direction and be in the middle of a city and 6 miles in the other direction and I am at the beach. We spend a fair amount of time in the city centre as there is so much more to it than shopping, eating and drinking. There is a plethora of cultural places that can be visited and there are a boat load of educational places too. One place that I feel falls in to both the category of "Cultural" and "Educational" is the "Discovery Museum". The "Discovery Museum" is located in Blandford Square which is not in the heart of the city but it is only a five minute walk away from the main shopping area. The museum is operated by Newcastle City Council and is one of many FREE activities that you can do in the city centre. If you follow my blog you will know that I am a huge ...

"Grandma...Can We Have A Sleepover?"

When you find out you are having a baby it is a surreal feeling. When you find out that you are having two at the same time it is even more surreal!! We found out, like most parents, at our 12 week scan and once we had told our family and close friends we announced it to the world via Facebook. We received mainly positive reactions from everybody as most people would write comments like: " That is amazing news " or " Congratulations. So happy for you both " or " Double the babies means double the love " And so on. But there were the odd comments we received that I chose to ignore at first but I didn't forget them and they pondered in my mind for months on end. They were the comments like: " Say goodbye to ever sleeping again " and " Prepare to never have any money for the rest of your life. Babies are expensive and two at once is even more expensive " and " My friend has twins and he had a nervous breakdown when t...

Me And My Dad: Reading

Me and My Dad: 3: Reading My Dad is an avid reader! He always has at least one book on the go but more often than not he will have about ten! He buys books, he borrows books off friends, he borrows them from the library, he downloads them on his Kindle...he will read a book in any format. Naturally because of that, I too am an avid reader (although these days I don't read as much as I used to). I love to get myself lost in a good story and I don't particularly have a genre that I prefer. I like a good thriller, a scary horror, a mystery, an adventure, fantasy and even the occasional piece of "chick-lit" (I like Sophie Kinsella books...she is pretty funny). These are five books that I associate with my Dad, all for different reasons. 1: Well Done Noddy by Enid Blyton My brother was a big fan of the "Noddy" books so we had lots in the house growing up. As I was younger than him, they were passed down to me. My Dad would often read me ...
