One in five children is unable to name a favourite book according
to a survey conducted in 2004. The survey of 300 seven to
14-year-olds, conducted by the Prince of Wales Arts and Kids
Foundation, found that 24% of boys and 16% of girls did not
have enough experience of reading to name a favourite book
unprompted. Among 13 to 14-year-olds, 30% could not name a
preferred book. 52% of children chose JK Rowling's Harry Potter
series as their favourite reading material.

up followed by Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,

of parents' favourite children's films.
