I have so many favourites as I read them all the time with the children at school but I am just wondering if you or your child have a favourite on your bookshelf that gets read over and over again?
When We Were Very Young - AA Milne poems The Tiger Who Came To Tea - Judith Kerr
Anything by Eric Carle (Hugry Caterpillar, Mixed-up Chameleon, Busy Spider...)
Those are joint favourites. DS's favourites are anything with trains or cars in - Thomas, Roary and Bob the Builder especially. *Sigh.*
We do like all books and have loads of them, but other than the ones mentioned above, they go through phases of being read and being on the shelf.
Earlier:
The Very Hungry Caterpillar - Eric Carle
Where is the Green Sheep? - Mem Fox
Time for Bed - Mem Fox
Picture Dictionary
If You're Happy and You Know It

Nai- I also have Where is the green sheep. Such a nice book.
Kel- good thinking on the lift the flap books. I suppose the more interactive the better! I used to love Spot as well.
Falguni- I think I know the Each Peach Pear Plum story of by heart! A great book that I must get for our little girl.
Snowy- at the Top Gear magazine! That would so be my DP or anything about cricket! I had a little boy in my kindy class 2 years ago who used to love the street directory! He was so bright and he knew every single suburb and what suburbs they were next to! He bought it in for show and tell one day when the topic was "Your favourite book"!
Dach- I bought the Little Red Caboose! Gorgeous story.
DD and I really love "Annie's Chair" by Deborah Niland. Her copy is pretty dogeared, and very well read! The little girl reminds me alot of my fiesty DD
DS has heaps of books and goes through phases where we read the same ones over and over and then he will suddenly request a book we haven't read in months.
Current faves:
Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy
Goodnight Moon
There's a Hippopotamus on our Roof Eating Cake
One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish
The Tawny Scrawny Lion
Scuffy the Tugboat
Where is the Green Sheep
ohhhh too many to choose... but hang on this is about aston so I would have to say at the moment HIS favourite books are Alison Lester's Magic Beach, and Imagine. Magic Beach is one that I read to his big sister and brother too, so its lovely to read it again to him. Imagine he got for his birthday, and that is a fave at the moment. Those are the bedtime stories. Other books for any time of the day... Hungry caterpillar (the HUGE version that comes with a hungry caterpillar to put through the holes) He has a set of books that are D&K Touchables, that have pieces that come out and you can play with them. There are so many books in this house its hard to say now... lol Because I work for a company that sells kids books, there are always new books coming into the house. He calls them "mummy's books" but really they are the kids, I just have to collect them all from the various rooms when I go and do a party
Good thread though. will be keeping an eye out to see what everyone else is reading. I really recommend Alison Lester, and Graham Base. Beautiful illustrations.
