Dazzling diggers by tony Morton and ant Parker. He is obsessed with diggers and tractors. He loves it when granny reads him his favourite book because he can point out all the different diggers and what the digger parts are called. It’s all very exciting Xx

We like reading the Peter Rabbit stories and finding out about all of the adventures that they go on.

I liked to read The Boy Who Cried Wolf to them as it's a classic tale about telling lies and the consequences of it.
