Tellytubby, greats minds think alike! I was going to start the very same thread!
I'm loving 'Peepo' at the moment, remember it from when I was a kid. DH hates it though :lol: doesn't help that it's Moo's absolute fav too!
ETA - just googled Love You Forever...now I'M crying!
Man, just youtubed Love You Forever and bawled while feeding DD to sleep.
Anyway, this is an awesome thread, heaps of books I want to buy now.
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.
Ten in the Den - John Butler
Ten in the meadow - John Butler
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 :lol:
No one has mentioned one of my faves... Another Mem Fox, Hello Baby!
"Hello baby! Who are you? Are you a gecko with rolling eyes? Perhaps a hippo with yawning jaws!"
My DD has just started doing some of the actions... Very cute. And the end makes me tear up.
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!
Not sure if its been mentioned but i love love Each Peach Pear Plum by janet and allan ahlberg.
Theres another book i remember but cant think of the name.
Its about a postman and in the book there are envelopes to lift up with letters inside. Anyone know what im talking about lol?
Oooh I know the one Ubba, I'll have to think (or maybe ask my mum. I know she bought it for my cousin)
Thanks snowy ill hold you to it ;-)
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 :rolleyes:
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 :loveshower:
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.
Another big thank you to those of you who have suggested books by Julia Donaldson
I am now a huge fan. I think I want everybook in her collection
Time to dream!!!
Ooh I might have to order some of these too!
'Guess how much I love you' Sam Mcbratney.
Are you my mother, dr Seuss (just got a 59th anniversary special edition hard cover copy from my dad for Charlotte!!!)

I loved this book when I was a kid! It's called "The Jolly Postman or Other People's Letters" by Janet & Allan Ahlberg:
That's the one!
