[tellytubby]

I'm after your absolute favourite childrens book.

I find it hard to get a good one. I buy one, get home and its.. meh.

Inspire me!!!

I'll start with my favourite -

The Very Cranky Bear by Nick Bland

[madamerogers]

What the ladybird heard by Julia Donaldson
absolute fave!

[Sunny Love]

"Oh, The Things That You'll Do!" By Dr Seuss
Utterly inspiring and evoking, whatever age

[Phteven]

Mr Chicken Goes to Paris.

I'm hanging out for the sequel.

[AnyDream]

Sorry, I'm not going to play if I can only name one...

[tellytubby]

Oh gosh I had troubles naming just one too Marydean!!
Keep them coming ladies, I'm on the book depository ATM. What the ladybird heard, and the gruffalo are currently in my basket!
I already have all Dr Seuss books (and agree the places you'll go is absolutely beautiful, a gift from my dad when I finished uni )
Searching for Mr chicken goes to paris right... NOW.

[Phteven]

Sorry, I'm not going to play if I can only name one...

^ nup, never heard of that one MD. Who wrote it?

[Pandora]

Mr Chicken Goes to Paris.

I'm hanging out for the sequel.

DS loves this one!

My favorite is Corduroy followed by The terrible plop

Haha, I love lots of kids books, Enid Blyton books (i used to love) Dr Seuss but the one that sprang to mind when I saw the title of this thread was The poky little puppy Cutest book ever!!!

[Lisa]

I haven't read the other replies yet so sorry if I am repeating but I love "Oh the places you'll go" by Dr Seuss. It was a favourite of mine and it is a favourite of my childrens also.

I also love the book "Love You Forever" by Robert Munsch. I love reading this one to DS2 as it is gorgeous.

A good book for babies is Ten Little Fingers and Ten little Toes by Mem Fox.
It's SO lovely and the illustrations are gorgeous!

[tellytubby]

Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge by Mem Fox is another fav of mine. But I find my DD loses interest
But gee... that story makes me tear up just about every time. Reminds me of my Grandad

The places you'll go is beautiful - but again, my DD lose interest!
She likes fun quick stories, that rhyme and can have a lot of expression

[Phteven]

She might like Where is the Green Sheep? by Mem Fox.

[LimeSlice]

Courdaroy and Wilberforce.

Oh, and There is a Hippopotamus on my Roof Eating Cake.

[Lisa]

I have a whole heap of ****ys circle books. I'm not sure if they're still around but I used to buy them when DS1 &DD1 were little. They are great for reading to little ones as they are interesting enough to get their attention, and not too long that they get bored.

DS2's all time favourite book is "A fish out of water" by Dr Seuss. He thinks it is hilarious watching the fish grow bigger & bigger.

I also love the book "Love You Forever" by Robert Munsch. I love reading this one to DS2 as it is gorgeous.

I just have to say.... I just you tubed this book. And I am now crying. Oh. My. God. What a beautiful story.

Now buying it too... LOL!
Where is the green sheep is a bit boring for her. She's pretty good, loves reading and will sit there listening watching, but some books I can just tell that she's not that excited about, iykwim. Loves lots of different voices.. she gets right into it! heehee!

Oh man.. that book is so beautiful!!

[tellytubby]

Oh, and There is a Hippopotamus on my Roof Eating Cake.

She loves that story!! haha! What is with it?! Bizare!
