When I was a boy, I loved going to the library to borrow choose your own adventure stories. My favourites were Doctor Who adventures, which I can still remember reading, curled up on the sofa at home.

So far, I’ve failed to find any Doctor Who choose your own adventure books for my kids to read, but we have got these from our local Little Free Library book exchange. Hurrah!

These are a bit scary for the six year old, to be honest – some of the endings result in death, which is a bit drastic. However, he really enjoys being able to decide what happens next in the stories.

Did you read any choose your own adventures as a child? Any recommendations?

More books my kids love: Winnie the Witch, the Frog series, Mr Panda, Supertato
