Your Favourite Childrens Book?

[~me~]

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?

[Catherine]

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!

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

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

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.

Where Is The Green Sheep was given to us as a gift and it's just so cute! Can't wait until DD can actually understand when we read it, ha ha.

I absolutely love Jeanne Baker - Where The Forest Meets The Sea and Window are huge favourites here. Gorgeous books and great messages in them about the environment.

Oh my gosh favourite children's books well having worked in childcare for some time now I have to many, but I must say I love the ones where you can really add something to the story by using voices etc, A lot have been mentioned some of my fav's are:
The Gruffallo
Edward the emu and Edwina the Emu
Possum Magic
The very hungry caterpillar
Tiger in a pink hat
Wombat stew
Room on the broom
Brown bear
Rumble in the Jungle.

Just to name a few, but there are so many wonderful books out there for children these days.

[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.
