Your Favourite Childrens Book?

[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!

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)

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!

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.

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.

There is a sequel out to Window, called Belonging. The boy in Window grows up and has a family of his own.

I saw a review for Belonging a few weeks ago, will have to check it out. Thanks

Keep them coming ladies! Gosh I've got a few on my wish list.
Need to stop buying them, 4 books last night was enough! Especially when I'm a fussy pot and only buy hardbacks
We've got quite a few already that people have mentioned We obviously all like the same books!! haha!
Mummalice I'll go through and have a look at the books you've suggested - they look different, so I'm keen to give some a go! We've already go the cow that laid and egg, its a hit here too!
Snowylove - I bought the gruffalo last night, thinking about getting the gruffalo's child too. But will have to wait for next pay before I go book crazy again.

Really really loving everyones input ladies! You're all wonderful
