I read my LO 3 books but 2 of the 3 are fairly short. the last one has about 6 short stories but I only read 3 of them

She gets 3 peppa episodes

and then MAX two stories - I actually only try to give her one, but most nights she asks for 'one more' which is fine really... I know she's tired when she DOESN'T ask for the 2nd one!

Kilian doesn't get any at the mo', as he's asleep by the time we get to reading!

Thomas only has one story which he chooses and then I tell him a made up story about what we did that day. He gets read to a lot throughout the day though, not just at bedtime.

Generally its around 4, if they're short books he gets more but the longer ones its around 4, we try and choose a variety of different length ones but it depends what callum wants at that moment, usually the tiger who came to tea is in the 4 books chosen! xx

We just read books until LO has finished with his beaker of milk (sometimes he wants it all other times he wants hardly any) then brush his teeth and put him in bed. Sometimes we read about 4 another day we might only read 1 but at other times more.

2 or 3 here depending on the length of the story.

We read 2 as well. It used to be more - like 4 or 5, but now that they are longer and more involved it would take an hour to get through 5! Especially since we take a while to get through the books. x

We have one before bed but most of the books she likes now are pretty long. Over the course of the day she probably reads about 8 books with us though.

I read dd1 2-3 stories, but always finish with a peppa pig book so that she knows it's now time to go to sleep. I used to read 5 books at one point, but that was some times more to try and calm dd1 down to go to sleep as well.

2 most of the times and pretty much always the same ones plus a song or two.
