You can't beat "The Very Hungry Caterpillar".

Not to be confused with "The very angry caterpillar"

The grufalo is my favourite children's book. I have event taken the twins to see a play based on the book.....

Go on then I will admit defeat.... "Stig of the Dump" is a classic! and I will start searching my local Charidy Shops for a copy forthwith.....

Do you think anyone swallowed that??

Don't knock it.

As a kid I was a little swot wot read adult's books.

This past ten years the missus has insisted I go back and read the children's classics and I had no idea how much good stuff I missed.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe doesn't make sense unless you read The Chronicles of Narnia from the 1st book in the series. As a series, it is un-put-downable.

By the way, beware of Winnie the Pooh. I nearly pissed myself laughing at all the gags aimed at the adults reading it. It's wasted on kids. Ditto for Paddington.

hey, watch it.
Stig of the dump is a childrens classic, I thought I would read again it before passing it to the grandkids.
It's great having something in common with them. We have heated discussions about 'the subtle knife' and whether polyjuice potion is actually real

I have to agree with lobster man.
One of the unexpected joys of having a child is that you have a great excuse to re-read all those children's books you'd forgotten about and also catch up on lots that you never read.

PS - I loved the idea of the subtle knife, Its my favorite of the trilogy.
