I'm sick of bad children's fiction and I'm especially sick of the increasingly bland branded options for girls. So, here's a bunch of books that I've enjoyed reading to my children - and ones that we come back to time and time again. I'm always open to recommendations too.

I'm Seb Chan. Primarily I am a dad but I also write several other blogs, work in a museum, and run a music magazine. You can probably find me on Teh Internets.
