Oh cool - thanks Marydean - I'll keep a look out for them.
Niass - I've started to checkout the secondhand book shops too. So many of them are in really good condition and come at 1/4 the price. My Dad has the whole original hardback versions of TIN TIN series which is great. Other favs I had as a kid were Mr Gumpy's Outing; (Mickey) In the Night Kitchen; Where the Wild Things Are; Very Hungry Caterpillar. I had reading difficulties as a kid and went to special classes for a while and through this time my Dad would read Milly Molly Mandy stories as well as The Hobit and Lord of the Rings Series.
