Where Is The Green Sheepwas 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.

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

DD loves the Hairy Maclary books and "Time for Bed" by Mem Fox (I love this one too and the pictures are just lovely).
When I was a kid I loved all of Alison Lester's books.

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
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

Just want to second a PP - The mole who knew it was none of his business = awesome! DD loves reading it!!
We all get a giggle out of it!
Only thing I'm not keen on, cause I'm super picky, is I don't like the font they use... makes reading hard imo.
