Guess how much I love you and We're going on a bear hunt.
A lovely classic story is the Velveteen Rabbit.
Winnie the Pooh (box set), my DH read the whole series to my DS1, it was a bedtime routine and DS1 loved it when he was a toddler.

The Five Chinese Brothers?

for the chinese borthers one, I was going to suggest "rikitikitango"...that is a good rhythm read aloud.

Another great read aloud is :have you seen my potty?

by i like "the mole who knew it was none of his business" crack up!

all the books mentioned so far love 'em

and i agree that book makes you cry - esp. when pregnant!

My daughter loves the where's wally books (not reallyreading books though)

[LimeSlice]

Yeah, one of them had a metal neck or something so he could have his head cut off, and the others all had other things too... pmsl Helpful much?

ETA: Googled and yep The Five Chinese Brothers! lol Thank you! It has been doing my head in for years.

Totally love Strega Nona too!

[Little Chicken]

ten little fingers and toes is a favourite here.

There was a program on ABC2 called bookaboo that had some fantastic books on it but I can't remember any of the names. A couple of stand outs include little red riding hood from the wolf's perspective and one about a farting little boy. Excellent ones.
