Katanya, I also have one of those learning ladder books for Aidyn. It is a fold out cloth book with bright colours and geometric shapes, etc.
He also has an absolutely GORGEOUS book that I found at the Early Learning Centre shop as well, it is called Sunshine Colours. It is a cloth book as well, as the pictures are bright and lovely nature drawings, and there is a little cloth sun (with a smiley face of course) attached by a string so you can move it to each page as you tell the story about the sun shining down on certain things.... just gorgeous!
I also bought a set of 12 board books at Kmart, that have things like basic counting, colours, first words, shapes etc. Theyre really simple with only one picture or word on each page. Atm Aidyn loves to eat them, LOL.
I am also collecting up the 'mini' Disney classsics for him. They cost about $3 each from Target or Kmart, Aidyn has about 8 atm... though they are quite long to read out loud (too long for him) I'm sure he will like them when they are older.
He also loves his 'Play with Spot' Board book, I am looking for more of those atm.
A few months ago Dr Suess was on special at bookworld, so I bought him 4 of those for when he is abit older.
*phew* ok, I think I've rambled on enough now!! (can you tell I love reading? LOL)
