    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.

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

    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 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

    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.
