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.
