My 3 adult children - aged 28 to 35 - are huge readers. They always have been and now their children also love books. We buy them books all the time and our two eldest grandsons - one 6 and the other nearly 6 - are excellent readers and above average in their classes.

The joy of reading a book never fades....a gift forever useful

All my children read all the time and they are from 39 to 28, and still get lost in a book.

I can be so immersed in a book I forget the rest of the world

Its the best gift you can give any child, as that stays with them all their lives.
Plus the time spent together is priceless, all my 5 gkids have degrees now, and have always had their noses in a book.

We started with the Mr MEN series and collected the whole set, then
I remember the race to finish the Harry Potter books as they came out, all night sometimes. Very happy times.
