Which bedtime stories can't you stand reading???

[sangie]

Dr Seuss definitely because I get tongue tied!

[Olive]

You Choose. It's a great book but DD2 picks it A LOT!!

[LimeSlice]

The Dr Seuss Scrambled Eggs one. I have actually hidden it now!

And totally understand what you mean about the Little Miss/Mr Men books!! They are sooo tedious.

[Three Graces]

Yes, Limeslice, we've also been known to bury a few books where they hopefully won't be found!
Emmjayt - Scarface Claw - rawrrrrrrr, the toughest tom in town!

There's some lines from books where if a word is mentioned in conversation, DH and I just automatically think of particular books that we've read to death or we know the book, line for line (Time for Bed) and who knows this gem:

There's a house inside my Mummy,where my little brother grows, or maybe it's my sister, no one really knows...

LOL I think I know that book word for word! Funny, his little brother is over a year old but Moo still loves this book.

I can't stand Mr Men books, so irritating!
A few golden books 'I'm A Truck' is the most hated.
Richard Scarry's 'Cars and Trucks and Things That Go' is too long but Moo loves it.
'Shoes From Grandpa'
There is a book called 'True Blue Santa' that DH and I automatically hated but we read it so much in the lead up to xmas that we both ended up loving it

[Astrid]

Yes, the Little Golden Books. I know we grew up with them, but the most of the stories are horrid. I just want to slap that whingy little tug boat or whatever it is.

[LimeSlice]

Oh Shoes from Grandpa!! That is the tissue paper book, I love that one! LOL

[feeb]

Thats disgusting as i end up PMSL so much that kids get excited lol

A new house for mouse
Pete the sheep
Hairy Mclarey from Donaldsons dairy

[Floweryfields]

Not at bedtime, but really dislike the Hippo on my roof series.

[wysiwyg]

The Mr Men Little Miss books - so tedious and really quite complicated - we have a Little Miss Birthday book, and she can't think what is perfect present for Mr Wrong - in the end she gets him a Christmas present so he is right for once - as an adult it takes me a little while to get my head around the concept so no idea what age children really aiming at. DD doesn't care though and still asks for it to be read.

DH hates Round the World with Ant and Bee - I quite like it, he doesn't like it because it is long - but they visit a lot of countries so what can he expect - is also one I remember from childhood so I think that makes me look on it more fondly.

Any book. I can't stand reading aloud to kids (including my own!) I did it though, because I am a good parent

[Astrid]

The girls had some stupid book about elephants going on a holiday. Made little sense and the pictures had little speech bubbles, that I could never quite work out if to read them all not. Of course once DD1 could read more, she would always point them out to me.

Of, almost forgot. A Clarence Bean book, can't remember the title and don't want to go find it to look it up. All the text is higglty pigglty, more for a kid who can read, than for a parent to read out.
