Any ideas what books an 8 year old girl would be into? Need ideas for my niece for Christmas. Also any ideas for what to get a 5 year old girl?

Hi anythink with Fairies and mermaids - they have a good range at WHS. i.e. Mermaid magic, by Gwyneth Rees or fairy stories by Daisy Meadows

my little sis is 8 and she loves books about faires, mermaids, ballarinas and unicorns

Have you thought about buying The Glorious Book for Girls, it says on the cover that it is for girls from aged 8 to 80. I bought it for a friend's daughter's 8th birthday and it went down really well. Another great idea is books about horses or ponies, you could buy Black Beauty - good luck!

What about bead making things - more 'grown up' beads for the 8 year old ( large selection at the Range or Hobby Craft) or Hama Beads they keep kids quiet for ages and are now available in three sizes so they would be suitable for both ages (good range at hobbycraft or Toys R us)

There are some fab, inexpensive book sets (it tells you what ages they are suitable for) on www.thebookpeople.co.uk...
