When asked about their favourite children's books, the h2g2 Community had a lot to say! Their recommendations fell into two rough camps - books that they enjoy or enjoyed reading to their children, and stories they remember reading themselves.
<HEADER>Books for Younger Children</HEADER>
<P>
One of the most popular books to read to younger children is Julia Donaldson's <I>The Gruffalo</I>. More Researchers plumped for that book than any other, and they had good things to say about her other books too.

Other favourites by this author are The Gruffalo, Tiddler, and the Snail and the Whale ... all of which at one time or another I have had to hide just to get a break from reading them several times a day.
