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...

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 ...

A Dad Review: Blackpool Zoo

BLACKPOOL ZOO   We have visited Blackpool several times over the past few years with the twins. We mainly visit as Kate's Aunty and her wife live there and it is nice to visit them and for them to see the twins (and us, I guess). Usually we do the "typical Blackpool stuff" like going along the prom, taking in a couple of fairground rides, a donkey ride, some ice cream etc... and we have been up Blackpool Tower. This summer when we visited we decided to visit the zoo for two reasons:   1) We have never been 2) The twins love a zoo   So that is what we did. We drove to Blackpool and met up with one of Kate's Aunties (the other was at work...we had dinner with her later on) and we hit the zoo...here is what we thought...     Blackpool Zoo is way bigger than we anticipated...there is loads to do and there are loads of animals to see. Like most zoos it is broken down in to sections: Waders...

Me And My Dad: Movies

Me and My Dad:   2: Movies   Like a lot of people my Dad and I share a love of movies. From being a child up until now we still watch movies together on a regular basis and I have great memories of watching movies with him. In this post I am going to share my memories of 5 movies that we watched together and why they have stuck with me. Here goes... 1: The Rescuers Down Under I love animated movies - always have done and always will. Growing up my Mam was not a huge fan of cartoons so we very rarely watched cartoon movies as a family and watched live action movies instead. From an early age I was introduced to some absolute classics such as "Gremlins", "The Goonies", "Private Benjamin", "Overboard", "Big Business", "Indiana Jones" and a whole load more. But my Dad and I would watch animated movies together on a regular basis. The very first movie I went to see at the cinema was with my Dad and we went to see ...
