The top ten children's books - as voted by NSPCC supporters
We recently asked our 126,835 Facebook fans to tell us about their favourite children's book on the NSPCC Facebook page. This simple question attracted a huge response, with 584 people coming onto the page to tell us about their favourite childhood book.
Our supporters favourite was Julia Donaldson's classic picture book, The Gruffalo, which tells the tale of a mouse who took a stroll in the deep dark wood. There were plenty of other classics as well, and we've teamed up with Amazon so our supporters can buy any of them with 10 per cent of the price going to the NSPCC. Just click on any of the links below to get to the book you want and go through the normal purchasing process.

1. The Gruffalo - Julia Donaldson
