    It used to be a bedtime book all about staying in bed when the lights go out - it was a cute rhyming book and was obviously effective as by 3yrs old, DD#1 could quote the whole book! Lol! Now its the big Disney books and an older book about Possum Creek with 4 stories all told in poems..........I loooooooooove the girls having books!! They're getting the complete Mr Men & Little Miss for Christmas, yay Aah, the memories

    DD#2 is still into eating books, lol. Although there is a Baby Bright book that's all shiny with a mirror at the end that she seems to enjoy as well as a lift the flap type book on colours, shapes & opposites - really bright and beautiful with cute pictures of real babies through it which she loves to kiss


    MotherGoose - I love The Green Sheep book!! MIL has it and DD loves to read it when we're there.

    yummo! - my little niece loves tactile books - once she stopped eating them too!

    Isn't Where is the Green Sheep so simple and such a favourite. There always seems to be the same level of excitement from my nieces and nephews when that last page is finally turned...... and there is the green sheep!
