    I just bought a book for my 3 boys titled, "Where Does Santa Claus Go." Since it's arrival it has been our go to bedtime story. I just about have it memorized. My kids LOVE it and I must say I do too. It's about what happens when Santa has to well, ya know? He's eating lots of cookies and drinking lots of milk....and flying around all night...you get it. There's even a moral at the end of story which is really cute. The authors name is Ima Chatterbox. I did a google search but can't find any other titles under this authors name. I'm hoping she writes some more. This is a good one!

    Hi,

    Growing up I had really enjoyed reading, still do, especially Fighting Fantasy books as it was fun making decisions throughout the story and seeing what outcomes arose. I had also enjoyed reading the David Eddings series as a teenager and Judy Blume as a kid. My favourite title in her series was Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing.

    Now I am hoping that one day people will say that they had enjoyed reading the children's adventure novel I recently wrote. If anyone is interested please let me know and I will post the link. Given that this is my first posting I do not want to come across as just trying to promote my book.

    Happy Reading...whatever you read. :)

    Brian

    i got a fair way through it actually, when i was learning to read i would have to read to him. I cannot remember how far I got but i never finished it. I think even he got bored of it lol. but he was probably so sick of the dinosaurs and goosebumps haha.

    ' The Phantom Tollbooth.' Yeah that's a good one.

    'Under The Enchanter' by Nina Beachcroft was a memorable one for me.

    The Ant and Bee books by Angela Banner

    I loved the illustrations. There was a breakfast scene where the cereal they were eating looked like crushed up cornflakes and so for the rest of my childhood I used to crush up my cornflakes before I poured milk on them
