What's your favourite children's book? Children love escaping into exciting adventures and fantastical worlds with the help of a good book and on 2 April, it's International Children's Book Day where people around the world celebrate children's books and their love of reading.
To mark this special day, we want you to tell us your favourite children's book. Maybe you dreamed about being friends with Winnie the Pooh, helping Nancy Drew solve mysteries or entering the wonderful world of The Hobbit? Send us details of your favourite book and why to readon@rnib.org.uk
Here are a couple to get you started:
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott (Braille 5v, Giant Print 2v, TB 1968) is the book chosen by stock officer Tracy Pearson: "I liked the fact that it was all sisters. Everyone has their favourite and mine was Amy. It's a book where interesting things happen and it has a lot in it - adventure, romance. It's the kind of book where good people triumphed in the end".
Music librarian Megan Chivers chose The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton (Braille 8v, Giant Print 9v, TB 15677) because "it was the first of my mother's books that I read with her and I still come back to it on a regular basis for sentimental reasons".
