My favourite children’s author is Roald Dahl, a popular choice but rightly so. For slightly younger children, I don’t think you can beat Oliver Jeffers.

Anthony Browne books are one of our favourites, engaging and enjoyable to read
I used to love all the books by Allan & Janet Ahlberg
judy blume,
I would also have to say Enid Blyton, I loved her when I was a child. Keep trying to get my children to read the books but they dont seem to be bothered about her, they would rather read Roald Dahl. If I keep persisting them maybe one day they will try her books and hopefully like me they will love her too.
I love Lewis carroll
Roald Dahl was easily my favourite – loved The Witches and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Alan Garner – The Weirdstone of Brisingamen was a fabulous fantasy read when I was young and even now I am an adult I still re-read this book every few years for the childhood memories it invokes!
Got to be Roald Dahl.Love his books!
My favourite children’s author was always George Layton, author of “The Fib and other stories”. The way he crafted out images of his world into my juvenile mind, the relationships between the schoolfriends, parents and teachers, and the sheer pleasure of the tales unravelling in front of me. Layton was a genuis.

has to be Enid Blyton, her books are amazing!!
Loved Joyce Stranger as a child – animal daft and her books often empathised with the animal. Sadly she is no longer with us but will be passing on her books to my daughter when she’s a bit older (she’s two so into fairies and princesses at the moment!).
Thanks for the comp!
My personal favourite is Road Dahl but my kids love the Julia Donaldson books.

Beatrix Potter
i LOVE beatrix potter. I have a peter rabbit teddy from when i was two years old still! It has seen better days though.
I also admire Roald Dahl, For putting so much enthusiasm into his publications. One of my favorite’s is Charlie and the chocolate factory!
When my son gets older, i will give him my book collection, which includes Charlie and the chocolate factory!
Definitely beatrix potter! I loved them all,
Would love this prize so I can reread them
Robert Louis Stevenson – Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, among my favourites.
Roald Dahl
My favourite author from my own childhood was Enid Blyton; I can vividly recall reading her books over and over, particularly The Enchanted Wood. My favourite author at the moment for my granddaughter has to be Julia Donaldson, particularly for The Gruffalo but for the other outstanding books she has penned too, fabulous.
I have re-tweeted about the competition (wasn’t sure if I was meant to leave a comment to let you know that), apologies if I shouldn’t have

ENID BLYTON
As a child just starting secondary school I was captivated and enthralled by Enid Blyton’s Mallory Towers – I so wanted to go the school which sounded so much more exciting than normal school.
Enid Blyton was the best and I always looked for her books in the school library every time.
Definately Enid Blyton.
Enid Blyton.
I love Astrid Lindgrens books
Jaqueline Wilson
It has to be Judith Kerr….the Tiger that Came to tea…and the MOG the cat series
It has to be Enid Blyton,also Beatrix Potter.
Roald Dahl will always be my favourite author. His stories were magical to read as a child and have stood the test of time.
René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo – Asterix Books classic xxx
This is a tricky one! If I was thinking back to my childhood it would probably be Enid Blyton – but my little boy is loving the Hairy Maclary stories so I’d say Lynley Dodd today.
It has to be Enid Blyton, a variety of books to suit all ages as you go through childhood
Judith Kerr. <3 MOG!
I was mad on Enid Blyton. Her stories were very far removed from my own life and, in hindsight, quite un-PC in places but in the main she was a great story teller. A great contrast with great contemporary children’s authors like Jacqueline Wilson.
I am of an age when Enid Blyton was everyones favourite
Neil Gaiman: Coroline is a magical book
Ednid Blyton’s books would be the favourite
Love them all but my overall has to be Enid Blyton,i grew up with her books and cherish them all.
we really enjoy mick inkpen’s books

A tough question but here we love The Gruffalo so it has to be Roald Dahl. We also like Axel Scheffler for his wonderful illustrations.
I was a massive fan of Michael Rosen’s rhymes and songs, with Quentin Blake’s fantastic drawings to match – I’ll have a please sandwich cheese!

my favourite author is J K Rowling… the Harry Potter books are spellbinding and so much fun
Enid Blyton
Roald Dahl, always remember our teacher reading the BFG to us – one chapter per week in school. I loved it
Roald Dahl
Hard to choose, I read alot of Enid Blyton as a child, but Roald Dahl is far more exciting. In the end though I’d pick Dr Seuss books as my favourites as they’re so much fun with word play and imagination.
My son loves books by Julia Donaldson but I used to love, and still do, those by Roald Dahl, they are so imaginative and well written.
J. K. Rowling is my fave
Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl
My favourite author when I was a child was a toss-up between Cpt W.E. Johns (he wrote the Biggles books) and Roald Dahl (his descriptions were so vivid).
Now, as a father, I love reading Roald Dahl to my sons, but I also love reading David Walliams books – he is very similar in tone to Dahl. My boys love both!
