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.

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.

Star Baby - someone....
DS loves little bear sings a song and little bear grows a flower - by... someone else... very very old books those ones

Heva - is the star baby one called Tinker and Tom and the Star Baby? We just borrowed that book from the library. DS loved it, i just didn't think it ended well.
DS loves Mem Fox's Possum Magic and It's Time For Bed.
Tell you what... The book depository is going to get a work out, I might buy some of these!!
When I was little I liked the Scholastic dreamtime books like "how the rainbow serpent got it's colours" or whatever the title is... But I can't seem to find them anywhere!

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.
