What is your child's ALL TIME FAVE book?

[Winter]

We loooove books in this family and I am constantly reading to DD. Just to help me out with ideas for books that we both will love, what is your child's favourite book?

THANKS!

My child often asks for BILBY MOON. the illustrations really engage her, she has pointed out the little ant on each page, from an early age. She can now recognise a moon whether it's a crescent, half or full etc, from seeing this book so much. One of her first words was "STAR", which i also attribute to this book.

it's quite a calming book for a bedtime read too.

we have abridged the text content, to make it shorter when she was smaller. Sometimes we just discuss the illustrations and don't even read the words. It's made me realise there is more than just one way, to read a book.

i am so thrilled now, that at 2.5, when she has nothing to do, she goes and finds a book and sits down to "read" it to herself. I always wanted her to love books, and so far, i can see this starting.

Where is the green sheep?

But he also likes most Grug books, and The very hungry catepillar, because he likes to count the fruit.

where oh where is Huggle Buggle Bear
Who's a Cheeky Baby
Harry and the bucketful of dinosaurs series

We too love books in this house, and we have so many it isn't funny!
I myself love reading anything by Mick Inkpen to the children, and I also love the Hippopotamus on the Roof series. My youngest DD loves reading the 'That's not my Puppy' book.
A Fisherman's Tale is a good one too - a lift the flap book.
I could go on and on!
Interested to see what everyone else loves too.

Don't have a child, but read lots of chldren's books for work.
Some of my personal favourites are:
Wombat stew
Giraffes can't dance (great for stereotyping)
Wombat divine (christmas)
The bush jumper
The Hairy Maclary series
Hattie and the fox

Oh there are lots and I can't remember them!

Oh and we got a new one from bookclub this week 'there was an old lady who swallowed a mossie' = aussie version of the original.
It is hilarious - why did she swallow a mossie, cause she's aussie
The last page goes something about making her spew - and all the aussie things she's eaten come back up again.

We are currently reading about 40 times a day - A Hole in the Road. It's a fantastic book for any little boys obsessed with diggers and trucks etc.

We both love 'Time for Bed' and 'Ten Little Fingers, Ten Little Toes'. Great bedtime stories.

I was tidying up the bookshelf this morning, and came across yet another one of my faves - The Wide Mouthed Frog. I read it so much when I was teaching Preschool, and then when I went to playgroup - and to my own girls. It's looking a bit tatty.

My mum gave us a book called 'My Mummy is Magic' and I literally have to go and hide it from DD1 at times because I get sooooo tired of reading it over, and over, and over, and OVER AND OVERANDOVERANDOVER (you get the point) to her!!

She also loves the Little Golden Books 'The Little Red Caboose' and... I forget the name... the one with the kid who has a vegetable garden and the rabbit keeps eating it, and he makes a 'scare-bunny' that the rabbit isn't scared of lol.

I'm a total bookworm and always have been so I'm trying my damnedest to get the girls into reading

DD's fave is 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. We borrowed it out of the library for two weeks and she recited it at preschool!

She's really into fairy tales atm, and the more gruesome the better: Hansel and Gretel, Jack and the Beanstalk, all those ones that seem so unsuitable for small children!

All the Mr Mcgee books!!
slide/flap books
