I'd love some inspiration for my 11 and 6 year old sons and 9 year old daughter.

11 year old has loved: Malorie Blackman, Wimpy Kid, David Walliams, Anthony Horowitz, Calvin and Hobbes

9 year old has loved: David Walliams, Judy Moody, Daisy and the Trouble With, some Jacqueline Wilson, Spy Dog, Lost Puppies/Kittens/Ponies

6 year old is Orange band and has read lots of Dr Seuss green back books and likes to listen to Roald Dahl, Horrid Henry, Guiness Book of Records

The Hobbit Annual (to celebrate him hopefully finishing The Hobbit this year).


DD1 (Almost 6):
Alexandra?s Scroll: The Story of the First Hannukah
Princeless Comics, Volume 1 [really good, would recommend for anyone, particularly girls, I think it would be fine for a 9 year old - I enjoyed it!]

Miss Zee Colouring Books
Goldilocks (Jump at the Sun)

DD2 (3)
Mirabelle and Maud
Pretend You?re a Cat
The Doctor Who Annual
Miss Zee Colouring Books
God Made the World (Jump at the Sun)

DS2 (Will be 1 - some may go for his birthday. He needed some not trashed board books as most of the others have already gone through 3...):
Global Babies
Cradle Me
Full, Full, Full of Love
I am God?s Paintbrush
Star Trek Book of Opposites
The Horrible Science Annual (They are buy 1 get the second for a pound so I had to buy an even number Wink)
