One of my fondest memories of reading as a child was my Dad reading us a chapter a night of a 'big book'. He read us Charlie and the Chhocolate Factory; Watership Down; The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe...

I'd really like to start doing this with DD (3 in 3 weeks) but am looking for some slightly more simple books than the ones mentioned.

The only one I can come up with so far is Fantastic Mr Fox. Any other reccomndations?

TIA
